Evaluating Your Library’s Collection

Wednesday, April 15, 8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.

Presenters - Sharon Ufer-Lavell, Collection Services Manager, and Alexandria Eccles, Pierce County Library; Julie Miller, Associate Dean of Libraries, Eastern Washington University, and Glenda Lammers, OCLC Global Product Manager for Cooperative Collection Management.

Regular evaluation helps you determine whether your library's collection is meeting its established goals, and how to allocate your budgetary resources. This workshop provides an overview of the reasons why libraries should conduct collection evaluations, and of the tools available. Presenters from both public and academic libraries explain the principles of collection assessment, applicable to any type of library, and demonstrate practical tools that are readily available, accessible and yield useful results. The emphasis will be on best practices for the process, a realistic “how we did it …and how you can too” approach to collection evaluation.

Cost per person: $50.00
