====================================================================

What's Covered:

Portal: Libraries and The Academy earlier this year published an article by OCLC researchers Lorcan Dempsey, Constance Malpas and Brian Lavoie, titled Collection Directions: Some Reflections on the Future of Library Collections and Collecting.  This groundbreaking article focuses on how 21st century digital networks are impacting information services in academic and research libraries.  The article, in particular, reveals how today's digital networks are forcing libraries to change the ways they shape, design and deliver their collections services on nearly every level.



To learn more about the key themes of this article, join OCLC Research Scientist, Constance Malpas, in an NFAIS Webinar, Wednesday, December 17, 2014.  Constance will discuss in detail the evolution of these changes in library collections and how information professionals and providers can keep ahead of the curve in the years ahead.



In this 90-minute webinar, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of:

  *   How digital networks are changing the ways libraries conduct discovery, selection, acquisition and management of collections.
  *   The ongoing redefinition of the evolving scholarly record in the context of digital networks.
  *   How collections will be managed through several levels of sourcing and scaling above and within institutions.
  *   The ways in which libraries need to configure their approach to investments in collections and coordinate more with each other and their provider.

Join us on Wednesday, December 17, to learn more about how libraries are adapting their collections strategies and processes in the midst of the fast-changing digital networks era.
