“Effective performance of collection management and development activities requires continual learning, both in the theories and practices of this specialty and in the areas for which one is responsible. A commitment to self-education along with intellectual curiosity, energy , and time, is essential.”
(Peggy Johnson in Fundamentals of Collection Development and Management, 2nd edition)

The Charge
• Plan and institute an ongoing professional development program through which selectors at all stages of their careers can share information and insights about the theoretical, technical, intellectual, and service aspects of collection development. Work with Library Technical Services and other units, as appropriate.
• Coordinate technical training programs that foster efficient practices in collection development. Work with the WorldCat Selection liaisons, Central Library Operations, and other units, as appropriate.
• Foster discussion among selectors of the evolving nature of collection development.
• Support efforts to update, consolidate, and expand the documentation of CUL collection development procedures and practices. Oversee the integration of this documentation into the Scholarly Communications and Collections website.
