Summary: The gist of this article is driven from an interview with Barbara Genco, collection
development director at the Brooklyn Public Library. Written in 2007, the
article talks about the future of collection development. Major topics include
empowering patrons, mobility and digitization, responsive administration, e- content
and streaming selection and transparent holdings.
Evaluation: Since
this article was written in 2007, it was interesting to see what a collections
librarian would predict the future of collection development to be like. Since
I am just learning about library collections, I don’t know if all of her
predictions have come to fruition.
