Keep in print?

Probably not

Sky and Telescope’s website offers a lot of free content

Why would I keep this?

If I buy it…

Will they find it?

Or, how cataloging influences we what we get and what we keep -

Why collective biography makes us crazyWhat do these guys have in common? Paranoia! Who will find this book?

That awkward stage…

Activation what?

Making sure “complimentary online access” to the printed content of a purchased reference set is visible in the online catalog -

Response from Tech Support:

“I created a ticket in OTRS to have the books added to the orr. Please allow more time.”

Collection development policies

Keepin’ it vague

Keepin’ it grounded in principle

“The library provides non-print materials and services for the following purposes:

• to implement, enrich, and support the curriculum of University Laboratory High School

• to meet the individual, educational, emotional, and recreational needs of students, faculty and staff.

Format• The library's non-print collection consists primarily of videos

and DVDs, but also includes electronic reference sources, e-books, and some audio materials.

• The library does not collect music CDs or other forms of digital music. The library also does not support an audio book collection.”

Speaking of principles…

Devil in the details

Privacy

Is Amazon now keeping “library records”?

Transactions take place on Amazon website

Public vs. private sector

Solicitation in the guise of library notices

“Your book is due in 3 days. Would you like to buy it? Now. From us.”

Radical idea

Collection development policies that allow libraries to JUST SAY NO
