Danielson, R. (2012). A dual approach to assessing collection development and acquisitions for academic libraries. Library Collections, Acquisitions, and Technical Services, 36(3–4), 84–96. doi:10.1016/j.lcats.2012.09.002 http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.lcats.2012.09.002 Abstract With a growing interest in evaluating the effectiveness of libraries, it is increasingly important that libraries find efficient ways to evaluate the collection development and acquisitions process. This requires a dual approach to explore both what was collected and actually used and also what was not collected which should have been. This study presents a way that both of these areas can be studied for smaller academic libraries and suggests ways these results can be interpreted and used to reallocate scarce budgetary resources or provide evidence for more funds for further developing the collection. full text: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1464905512000280/pdfft?md5=b74dfcad90882609996d991b5881e1fb&pid=1-s2.0-S1464905512000280-main.pdf PLAI National Congress 2013 20-22 November: Punta Villa Resort, Iloilo City Hash Tag: #plaicongress2013 Philippine Librarians Association, Inc.
