Subject: Bibliography on reference and electronic collection development

This message is being posted to several lists. Please excuse the
duplication.

Hello:

I wanted to announce the appearance of "Reference and Collection
Development: a Bibliography," which can be found on the World Wide Web at:

http://alexia.lis.uiuc.edu/~rrichard/RUSA/bib.html

Topics covered include:

1.Reference and Collection Development
2.Remote Users
3.Intellectual Control of Electronic Resources
4.Education and Training of Reference Librarians
5.Altering the Organizational Structure of Libraries

As the bibliography contains many references to current materials on the
topic of collection development for electronic resources, it may prove
especially useful to librarians with collection development
responsibilities.

This work forms part of a Web site for the 1997 ALA Reference and User
Services Association President's Program for the  1997 ALA Annual
Conference in San Francisco, "Towards a New Vision of Reference:
Kaleidoscopic Collections and Real Librarians"
(http://alexia.lis.uiuc.edu/~rrichard/RUSA/president.html).

The site contains some other resources that might be useful for librarians
with collection development reponsibilities, including a page of links to
collection development policies for electronic materials
(http://alexia.lis.uiuc.edu/~rrichard/RUSA/policies.html).

I would welcome any comments or suggestions.

Thanks very much.

Rob Richards
