In the forthcoming book from Core: Leadership, Infrastructure, Futures, Transforming Print: Collection Development and Management for Our Connected Future, Lorrie McAllister and Shari Laster explore the vision of the future of print collections in this increasingly digital age.
This book inspires its readers to consider print collections and how experimentation and innovation can result in a more engaging experience for the communities they serve and highlights the ways in which people and books are central to the library’s educational mission.
Some of the case studies discussed include the ”Open Stacks” concept, haptic learning, learning from browsing behaviors, and an open digital future for the Library of Congress. This guide helps collection management staff in academic libraries transform print collections from selection to management to disposition.
