ASERL-Selectives Mailing List: ASERL Webinar: Meeting the Challenge of Focused Collection Development at a Federal Regional Depository

[Cheryle Cole-Bennett (ccole-bennett]

Good afternoon,

 

I would like to invite you to attend an upcoming webinar.  Please join Sandee McAninch, Government Documents Regional Coordinator, and Heath Martin, Director of Collections from the University of Kentucky as they discuss the challenge of focused collection development at a federal regional depository.

The University of Kentucky (UK) is participating as a Center of Excellence (COE) for two Federal agencies (WPA and ARC) in an Association of Southeastern Research Libraries (ASERL) Collaborative Federal Depository Program (CFDP) designed to distribute collection development for all Federal agencies across the entire Southeast.  This presentation will describe how UK has been able to focus its collection development efforts for its depository collection, apart from their COE activities, on the agencies which have not yet been selected as COEs.  The presenters will also discuss how this ASERL program has allowed them to cease collection development efforts, when appropriate, for those agencies where someone else in the SE has agreed to be the COE, and how local collection development priorities have influenced those decisions.
