Eureka - Floating Collections: A Model for Change
Thursday, July 29, 2010
With tight budgets and the rising cost of delivery, libraries are investigating new models for collection development, including floating or shared collections.
- What does a library need to know when considering moving to a floating collection model?
- How do we, as library leaders, assist our organizations with evaluating the feasibility of a floating collection or partial floating collection?
Those attending the webinar will learn:
- What a floating or shared collection is
- Why libraries move to a floating collection model
- A step-by-step process detailing what to consider before, during and after implementation to a full or partial floating collection
- How leaders can help their staff and organization move to this new model
This one-hour webinar will be of interest to library managers and staff who manage collections.
