It first considers the evolving nature of collections, and in so doing, confirms that the concept of the collection in the new environment remains valid and crucial to scholarship and services. It discusses the main players in the information exchange process. Finally, it outlines six key challenges in collection development for academic research libraries Description: The text and figures of Ross Atkinson's talk at the Janus Conference on Research Library Collections, Cornell University October 10, 2005.

The author concludes that no materials budget, however strong, can be used effectively without quality service at the level where the individual librarian brings material and patron together.

T. Abstract: The heart of the library lies in its collection, and collections have to be built continuously. Budgetary constraints perforce stress the need for better defined collection development policy, although the ultimate goal should be an improvement of library service rather than any reduction of library cost. A written collection development policy facilitates a consistent and balanced growth of library resources, and a dynamic policy is one that evolves as the institution grows. Such as policy is based on the understanding of the needs of the community it serves and seeks to define and limit the goals and objectives of the institution. A collection development statement is not a substitute for books selection; it charts the forest but does not plant the trees. It should be used as a guidepost, not a crutch. Book selection requires judgement and the courage to choose. A sound collection development policy, on the other hand, provides the necessary rationale without which a collection may grow amoebalike, by means of pseudopodia.

Gormly Abstract: Miller's work addresses two primary audiences, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, which funded the two-year study at Cornell, and the University's administrators, who would assess the extent to which they would underwrite the report's recommendations. It lays out a series of activities that the library conducted to measure the Project's research design and makes specific recommendations for the organization, selection policy, budget control and planning of collection development at Cornell. The report's scope and tone-- whose principal leitmotifs are limits, controls and bounds-- contrasts sharply with the optimism of the interim report, written two years earlier.

Mellon Foundation Authors: Edelman, Hendrik; Hazen, Dan C. Abstract: This document covers the first year-and-a-half of the Cornell University Libraries' Project for Collection Development and Management and as such is primarily a statement of the issues that the the Library faced and the investigative design that Edelman proposed to address them. The issues-- decline in acquisitions rates, concern over methodology for funds allocation, library space-- will seem remarkably contemporary. Twenty-five years on, readers will be struck by the writers' confidence that all research library activity derived from the collections and that their description, evaluation and planning would, necessarily, improve services.
