The Medical Library Association’s (MLA) Collection Development Caucus will be hosting its forum on collection development policies online this Thursday, March 12, at 12:00 PM CDT. Please join us then via Zoom. No registration is required.
The session will start with brief presentations from librarians who will talk about how their collection development policies were developed, what their policies include, and some of the challenges they faced in developing them. We will hear from:
- Yumin Jiang, Collection Management Department Head, University of Colorado’s Anschutz Medical Campus (Collection Development Policy)
- Robyn Gleasner, Resource Management Librarian, University of New Mexico’s Health Sciences Center (Collection Development Manual)
- Liz Kellermeyer, Director of Library & Knowledge Services, National Jewish Health (Collection Development Policy – updated link)
- Ramune Kubilius, Collection Development / Special Projects Librarian, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Collections Philosophy)
Following the presentations, there will be time for Q&A and discussion. Kayce Gill, from Vanderbilt University and Chair-Elect of the Caucus, will facilitate the session.
Non-MLA members are welcome to attend and participate in the discussion. The session will not be recorded to encourage open conversation.
