Abstract

This paper describes how library instruction sessions (both one-shots and credit-bearing information literacy courses) can be used as collection development opportunities. Students were assigned the project of selecting materials for the library's collection as a way to demonstrate understanding of research tools. The titles selected by the students were purchased by the library. The author discusses the creation of this assignment and how it served to increase course enrollment and build a more useful library collection. This model integrates outreach efforts with collection building and information literacy.
