Collection Assessment and Development Using B/NA Approcal Plan Referral Slips |
| |
| Abstract: | Approval plans have created advantages in acquisition options for libraries. One specific option is the use of vendor approval plan services in retrospective collection development and in collection analysis. Blackwell North America, Inc. (B/NA) and Auburn University Libraries (AUL) have used approval slips in working together on retrospective collection development projects and have found that 21% of these slips produced orders. This process has allowed Auburn University Libraries to strengthen existing collections, support subject areas representing new curriculum, and has provided a means of collection assessment and evaluation in subject areas. |
