Prospective Collection Development: Impacts on Library Collaboration

This preconference session focuses on the evolving landscape of collection development, particularly the role of print in a digital era. Led by Michael Levine-Clark, Collections Librarian at the University of Denver, discussions will center on the implications of shared print archiving, demand-driven acquisitions, and the tension between local needs and consortial benefits. As libraries shift toward mostly electronic collections, what is the role of print? Key topics include stewardship of cultural records, shared access, and future opportunities for print titles within library collaboration.
