The Arnold Arboretum’s Campaign for the Living Collections: A Case Study in Living Collection Development

In 2015, the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University began an ambitious plant acquisition program: The Campaign for the Living Collections. Prior to the initiative’s launch, the Arboretum underwent several years of strategic planning to assess the values, strengths, and gaps within its renowned living collection of temperate woody plants and then set goals that would profoundly shape the collection and its research and conservation potential for decades if not for centuries. Core genera, conservation value, phylogenetic breadth, biogeography, and climate change responses were among the priority themes used to generate a targeted list of 395 desiderata to acquire from wild populations. In only a few years, the Campaign’s 26 formal expeditions and other acquisition efforts have yielded 631 accessions of 263 highest-priority desiderata, representing 66.6% of the overall goal. This venture represents one of the most transformative and deliberate collection development activities at the Arnold Arboretum and among botanical gardens in the current era. These successes are due to a combination of factors that include visionary yet realistic strategic planning and goal setting, adherence to high standards of documentation and reporting, and authentic relationship building among collaborators.

Print Book and e-Book Collections in Academic Libraries in Malawi

Arrival of e-books on the scene has had a significant effect on the collection development activities of many academic libraries. Whilst some libraries have made the radical decision to ditch print books in favor of e-books, others are cautiously navigating the new terrain by acquiring both. The current study used the survey research design to study the collection development trends of print books and e-books in academic libraries in Malawi. The study found that academic libraries in Malawi are acquiring both print books and e-books. The trend has resulted from collection development decisions, practices, and budgetary constraints.

Collection development policy: A panacea for collection development challenges in university libraries in Africa

Collection development is faced with various challenges such as decreasing budget allocation, increasing cost of materials, increasing demand for information, the complexity of electronic resources, and legal issues arising from copyright and censorship. To meet these challenges, university libraries in developed countries have adopted different strategies such as using a written collection development policy (CDP) to guide their collection development activities. However, university libraries in Africa are lagging in this regard. It is either they have not formulated the policy or used it to guide their collection development activities. Therefore, this study argues that a written CDP, if well prepared and used, can address collection development challenges facing university libraries in Africa and provide standard collections necessary for teaching and research activities of the university communities. Specifically, the paper discusses major collection development challenges facing university libraries in Africa and establishes ways in which a written CDP could be used to overcome them. Methodologically, the paper is based on a review of related literature. The paper contains a literature review of papers discussing the major collection development challenges facing university libraries in Africa and ways a written CDP could be used to overcome them.

Applications of diversity language to descriptions of collection development activities at academic libraries: An exploratory analysis of strategic plans and diversity information webpages

Diversity is commonly invoked as a goal for libraries in a variety of domains, including collections. This study explores how diversity language is used to characterize collection development efforts at a sample of large North American academic libraries, through content analysis of strategic planning documents as well as library webpages providing information about diversity efforts. The topic of collection diversity was found to be not consistently addressed in these documents. While 90 % of the institutions whose strategic plans were examined mentioned diversity in some way, less than half of these did so in relation to collections; about one-third of the libraries with diversity information pages omitted reference to collections in these documents. Strategic plans and webpages that mentioned collection diversity often did so cursorily, and in vague terms that lacked specific details about the nature and purpose of diversification. This indicates that the academic libraries still have far to go in developing a shared conceptualization of what collection diversity involves. Analysis of updated documents, retrieved two years after the initial sample, suggests that there may be increasing attention to social justice concerns in these contexts, which would potentially enable greater precision in discussions of collection diversification.

Faculty–librarian cooperation in collection development at the University of Namibia library, with special reference to electronic resources

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which teaching staff cooperated with librarians in collection development, specifically in relation to electronic resources, and to identify barriers they encountered while performing collection development activities.Design/methodology/approachA mixed methods approach was adopted for the study. Quantitative and qualitative techniques of data collection and analysis were used to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the research topic. Data were gathered through a self-administered questionnaire and interviews. A total of 149 faculty members completed the questionnaire, yielding a response rate of 51.2%, while 16 library staff members were interviewed to obtain qualitative data.FindingsThe majority of the teaching staff who participated in the study affirmed that they had cooperated with subject librarians in collection development. A high percentage (62.4%) of the faculty members had collaborated with subject librarians in collection development activities. Only 37.6% of the faculty members had not participated in collection development activities with subject librarians to acquire library electronic resources. According to faculty members, some of the main challenges affecting collection development at the University of Namibia were a lack of catalogues for electronic resources and a lack of lists of titles from vendors. Moreover, librarians were not always available to assist faculty members. It is recommended that faculty members be part of the process of selecting materials and that a good relationship be fostered between librarians and faculty members to bring value to collection development activities.Originality/valueCollection development in respect of electronic resources is a complex process to be undertaken by a single entity and, therefore, requires the collaboration of all stakeholders involved. In the case of institutions of higher learning, these stakeholders include faculty, librarians and vendors. The emergence of a variety of e-resources demands a meticulous strategy on the part of libraries to ensure they can offer a wide range of up-to-date and accurate resources that meet the evolving needs of their users. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, studies that are similar to this one have not been conducted in Namibia before. This case study presents useful findings and lessons on faculty–librarian cooperation for effective collection development, not only at the University of Namibia library but also at other academic libraries in economies with similar characteristics.

Tahapan pengembangan koleksi di Perpustakaan Umum Daerah Kabupaten Sumenep pada masa pandemi

The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted the collection development activities in the Regional Public Library of Sumenep Regency. The pandemic has allowed libraries to improve their collection development activities, which were not previously a priority. This study aims to describe the existing activities of the stages of developing the collection in the Sumenep Regional Public Library during the pandemic. The research method used was descriptive qualitative, with the research subject being a librarian of the Sumenep Regional Public Library. Data collection was obtained through observation, interviews, and a literature review. Study results found that firstly, community analysis was conducted by distributing questionnaires links through Instagram accounts and the official website. Second, the collection development policy needed to be formally and officially formulated. Third, collection selection was carried out with a conformarian understanding, which is a balance between quality and interest in books. At this stage, the selection was carried out based on the data results from the step previously. Fourth, the procurement of library materials was hampered during the pandemic due to budget cuts for procurement allocations and the provision of digital libraries. Fifth, weeding was carried out more efficiently and focused during the pandemic. The final stage was collection evaluation, and it was found that the Sumenep Public Library itself did not carry out routine evaluations of collection development. It found several obstacles, namely budget cuts due to being diverted to Covid-19 funds, lacking human resources in the IT field, and lacking a collection development policy formulation. In conclusion, the Sumenep Public Library still needs more collection development during the pandemic.

MEMBANGUN KREATIVITAS PUSTAKAWAN PADA KEGIATAN PENGEMBANGAN KOLEKSI DI PERPUSTAKAAN

Building librarian creativity in the collection of development activities is outstandingly needed in libraries. This activity includes the stages of collection development, starting from the legal basis for collection development (community analysis), collection development policy, selection, procurement, weeding, and assessment of library materials. Due to the creativity of librarians in the management of the collection, particularly in the development of collections, it is hoped that librarians can provide a new innovation related to the collection itself. Librarian must be creative in managing collections because they are needed in the library especially in collection development. Admittedly, collection development activities do not directly meet with the library users, but these activities are very influential, arguably highly important in library because the library originates from this activity. Therefore, the point of every collection management in the library must go through a collection development process first, and in this process, bookkeeping officers are required to be more innovative in completing their responsibilities.

Analisis Pengembangan Koleksi Perpustakaan Institut Teknologi Indonesia

The present study aims to investigate the process of collection development in the library of Institut Teknologi Indonesia. The researcher applies the six stages of collection development from Evans (2005) as the theoretical framework. The research method used in the study includes descritive analysis using the data, from interviews from its librarians, questionnaire and the additional observation to make the data more accurate. The result reveals that the library of Institut Teknologi Indonesia makes the most of community analysis, selection process, and the weeding process for the collection development activities. Yet, the library needs more efforts in making the policy and evaluation activity. Surprisingly, after comparing with other university libraries, it is found that those libraries do not have formal and systematic policies of collection development, and they also barely conduct the evaluation meetings after the collection development activity is completed. The contribution from the stakeholders and incumbents are needed to escalate the collection development in the library.

Inspiring a Passion for the Medieval in the Present: Student-led Activities with Manuscripts at Southeast Missouri State University

Inspiring a Passion for the Medieval in the Present:Student-led Activities with Manuscripts at Southeast Missouri State University Roxanne Dunn and Vicky McAlister The authors of this article collaborated at Southeast Missouri State University, a comprehensive, Midwestern regional university. Our goal was to engage students with the medieval period and to encourage them to draw similarities between the challenges of that period with modernity. Roxanne Dunn is an archivist and Vicky McAlister is a medieval historian. This article will demonstrate how working with medieval manuscripts in a classroom setting was able to prove the value and importance of humanities coursework while promoting and strengthening the institution's archival collections. Specifically, this paper explores how our collaboration led to the successful incorporation of medieval manuscripts into the classroom: first as "show-and-tell" class visits, then to active-learning hands-on activities, and finally to a student-led collection development activity where students were able to select medieval manuscripts and defend their reasoning for purchase. This article will provide background on the types of students we serve at Southeast and the collections held by Southeast Missouri State University's Special Collections & Archives. We will highlight how the existing collections were parlayed into the purchase of additional materials to develop an extensive teaching collection of medieval fragments and leaves. There were many successful impacts of this collaboration including the development of further experiential activities, library administrator buy-in, and additional monies being allocated to support continued growth of this teaching collection. It is the hope that some of these ideas can be used by other historians and archivists in a variety of settings to promote the importance of humanities coursework and continued collection development in this area. [End Page 113] Background Southeast Missouri State University is a comprehensive, public, regional university that attracts many first-generation college students. The campus has nearly twelve thousand students, between traditional and nontraditional students, undergraduate and graduate students, and online and in-person student learners. As a consequence, we engage with a diverse student body who come from a range of backgrounds and enter college with differing levels of preparedness. Students from the St. Louis metro region are often heard commenting that Cape Girardeau is the smallest place they have ever lived in, while for another large portion of our students coming from rural areas mainly to our south, Cape is the largest "city" they have ever lived in. Students in history classes mirror the wider student population. They tend to be motivated and flexible and respond positively to experiential learning. The Department of History and Anthropology has a reputation for incorporating hands-on learning techniques and the medieval history classes are no exception. Here we try to breach the gap between students' personal experiences and those of medieval people to encourage effective learning. Because of student background upon entering college, they can struggle with medieval history, which feels very alien and distant to them, both in terms of geography and time period. Therefore, we consistently work to improve our communication of the medieval period. One successful method has been to collaborate with Special Collections & Archives to use tangible heritage to assist with learning goals. Special Collections & Archives is within Kent Library, Southeast Missouri State's main library. It is a typical, small-to-medium academic archives that was only very recently established in 2001. Special Collections & Archives acquires, preserves, and makes accessible research materials that document the historical and cultural experience of the region of Southeast Missouri and the history of Southeast Missouri State University. While the holdings of the unit are developed in relation to instructional and research interests within the university, all holdings are available for use by visiting scholars and the public, as well as by Southeast faculty, staff, and students. Special Collections & Archives has over nine hundred processed collections in its holdings, which make up approximately 5,200 linear feet. The unit staff have also digitized and made available over ten thousand historical images and textual documents via an online platform with free public access. The unit also conducts ten to twenty "one-shot" primary sources and archival literacy instruction sessions each semester, depending on which classes are taught in...
