Collection Development Discussion Group

Timothy Shipe, Facilitator

This new Discussion Group will be an opportunity to exchange ideas with colleagues about collection development. A moderated discussion of a specific aspect of collection development will be followed by a round robin during which attendees may pose any relevant question.

Serials Problems Discussion Group

Evalyn Stone, Facilitator

Art librarians often have little prior experience in dealing with questions regarding serials cataloging, vendor relations, frequency, etc. Electronic resources further complicate serials work, raising issues regarding license agreements and system requirements. This new Discussion Group will be a forum for exchange of serials information with your colleagues. The Serials Swap, now conducted on the ARLIS-L, has been discontinued as a conference event.
