How to Build a High-Quality Library Collection in a Multi-Format Environment

Waldrop, Jeffrey

Barstow, S., Macaulay, D., & Tharp, S. (2016). How to Build a High-Quality Library Collection in a Multi-Format Environment: Centralized Selection at University of Wyoming Libraries. Journal Of Library Administration, 56(7), 790-809. 

In this crucial article, the authors discuss how collection development trends are shifting as collections become more electronic in nature.  As these collections shift, the role of collection development librarians and Reference librarians are also shifting to instruction and research support as the selection process becomes a bit more difficult.  The authors discuss new collection development models in this vein, but using the recent work of the University of Wyoming in this particular area.  This was a very helpful article in deed.
