Abstract: Fundamentals of Acquisitions 2022 -Session 5.0 (ALA Core)This six-week online course is a basic primer for library acquisitions concepts common to all library material formats.It covers: goals and methods of acquiring monographs and serials in all formats; theoretical foundations and workflows of basic acquisitions functions; financial management of library collections budgets; relationships among acquisitions librarians, library booksellers, subscription agents, and publishers.This course provides a broad overview of the operations involved in acquiring materials after the selection decision is made.In FOA, we distinguish between collection development, which involves the selection of materials for the library; and acquisitions, which orders, receives, and pays for those materials.In many libraries, selecting and acquiring materials may be done in the same department-in the smallest libraries perhaps even by the same person.In larger libraries, selection may be done by a collection development department and/or designated subject specialists, while a separate department acquires the selected materials.In essence, acquisitions is the business operation, bringing materials into the library and licensing access to library collections and resources.October 3 -November 11 $224.10(ALA member)/$249 (Non-member) Fundamentals of Collection Assessment 2022 -Session 5.0 (ALA Core)This six-week online course introduces the fundamental aspects of collection assessment in libraries.The course is designed for those who are responsible for or interested in collection assessment in all types and sizes of libraries.The course will introduce key concepts in collection assessment including: the definition of collection assessment; techniques and tools; assessment of print and electronic collections; project design and management.October 10 -November 18 $224.10(ALA member)/$249 (Non-member) Fundamentals of Collection Development and Management 2022 -Session 5.0 (ALA Core)This four-week online course addresses the basic components of collection development and management (CDM) in libraries.Complete definition of collection development and collection management: collections policies and budgets as part of library planning; collection development (selecting for and building collections); collection management (evaluating and making decisions about existing collections, including decisions about withdrawal, transfer, preservation); collection analysis-why and how to do it; outreach, liaison, and marketing; trends and some suggestions about the future for collection development and management.October 17 -November 11 $188.10(ALA member)/$209 (Non-member)
