Core webinar: Reviewing New Visions for Collection Development

Date: Tuesday, January 17, 2023

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.



Description: Over time there have been more libraries drafting position
descriptions with job titles such as collection strategist and collection
analyst. This presentation will examine the way libraries describe their
collection needs and how certain collection position titles are becoming
more common place.

Shifting expectations and budget constraints have created an ever-present
need to provide collections data and evidence to support purchases or
rethink the collections. Open access , inside out, shared print, and
growing electronic/digital collections have changed the way libraries
define what the head of collections must do to support the needs of the
library. There are several libraries that have crafted position
descriptions with job titles like 'collection strategist' or 'collection
analyst' to replace or supplement the head of collection position. This
presentation analyzes these strategy-based position descriptions to gain a
deeper understanding of how libraries would like to shape their collections
in the future.

Learning outcomes:

At the end of this webinar, the attendees will be able to:

   -

   Describe the types of collection positions that are prevalent within the
   current academic landscape.
   -

   Generate a list of skills that are most frequently in demand for
   collection-related librarian positions and assess how it is shaping
   collection development practices.
   -

   Identify language and wording for what skills and qualifications are
   valued most for collection-related positions.

Who should attend?

Library leadership and librarians interested in collection trends. Those
reconsidering positions at their institution or interested in seeing what
others are posting. There may also be some new graduates who wish to see
what type of skills are targeted.
