Exploring Alternate Formats: Collection Development
Sessions under this theme share common ground in three distinct areas: publication methods, content formats, and media types. Adding a combination of these sessions to your conference schedule will provide a comprehensive exploration of the collection development process from content creation to publication; through selection and preservation; to description, access, and outreach.
