“…The implementation of a data collection strategy is therefore useful both in the day-to-day selection of data resources and as a step toward the identification and standardisation of effective practices. Specifically, a comprehensive collection development strategy will help practitioners to: While a number of useful collection policy documents have appeared recently, none address the policies and practices unique to numeric data collections [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Moreover, most of the literature on numeric data files has focused on public services rather than collection development [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

This paper describes a set of collection development strategies for use in the identification, evaluation and selection of numeric data resources. It addresses three primary issues: the delineation of collecting scope and organisational role; the identification of potentially relevant data resources; and the evaluation of those resources in accordance with objective, systematic criteria. The policies outlined here can be applied to both print and digital resources, including machine-readable data files, reference books, graphs and charts, genetic sequence data, and geospatial (GIS) files. The paper concludes with a discussion of unresolved issues in the acquisition and archiving of numeric data files.

Electronic or paper journals? Budgetary, collection development, and user satisfaction questions

The escalating price of the rapidly growing number of electronic journals, databases, indexes, and books, along with traditionally published print subscriptions and monographs, will soon force library administrators and collection development officers to make decisions between electronic or print products in the new millennium. The increasing costs of the dual format subscriptions or indexes are unfeasible and perhaps even unnecessary from the users' point of view in the disciplines of political science and economics. The researcher compared the annual subscription prices and the percentage increases of the 203 core printed journals with their electronic counterparts in the disciplines of political science and economics during the 1998-2000 academic years. The complete list of electronically available titles was identified and priced, then titles costing greater than $500 were separated. The electronic use statistics were examined for the expensive serials, based upon the numbers of hits cumulated by users' requests via the Web sites of the Texas A&M University Libraries. After the pricing information and use statistics for both electronic and printed resources were produced, the researcher had a clear answer to the electronic and paper dilemma.
