RDA (Resource Description and Access) is a new standard for describing library resources, designed to replace AACR2. Library staff, including public services, systems personnel, and catalogers, may have heard mention of RDA but not know much about it or how it will change their daily work. You may have many questions. What is RDA? We'll give a very little bit of history and theoretical background. What is this going to mean for catalogers, ILS managers, and users in the near term? What are the future implications, or, why are we doing this? What are the juicy bits of controversy in cataloger-land? And finally, Do we HAVE to? We'll talk for a while, have some activities that get you thinking, and find out your thoughts on RDA.

Collection Development (that based on the five laws of S.R.Ranghanathan) is very important part of Collection Management. If we don’t adopt advanced technologies, collection then we can never fulfill the need of advanced users and libraries will become freeze, this is against the 5th law of Ranghanathan that “ Library is a growing organism”.

The arrival and enormous growth rate of digital contents have fundamentally changed the way in which content is made available to library users. In the recent years, libraries are acquiring more and more electronic resources (e-resources) because of perceived benefits, such as easy access to information and its comprehensiveness. Due to the influx of e-resources in libraries, the collection, acquisition, and maintenance of these resources have become complicated issues to deal with. This has forced libraries to devise strategies to manage and deliver e-resources conveniently. Therefore, “Management of E-resources” or “Electronic Resource Management” (ERM) has become a challenge for library professionals that needs to be addressed through research and practice. To meet these challenges, library professionals and content providers have decided to develop ‘Electronic Resource Management System’ (ERMS) for management of e-resources in a more systematic way.

Taming print journal collections...to boldly weed where no one has weeded beforeNASIG
Over the past few years, Bucknell University’s Bertrand Library has made many changes to evolve our services, physical library space, and collections in response to changing expectations and needs of our researchers. Our Collection Development team was charged with a task to develop a plan that would holistically examine our print journal collection and forecast what would be required for a single-effort de-accessioning project, aiming to weed our print journal collection by 50% or more. I will present our planning process, criteria, and grand reconceptualization for the space.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
8. Selection Policy
• Criteria that the Library Services Director uses include:
• Patron interest in material
• Quality of materials
• Reviews in professional journals
• Public Demand
• Cost and budgetary limitations
• Timeliness
• Significance and Importance of a Subject
• Diverse Opinions on a Subject
• Reputation of author, publisher, editor or performer
• Format, ease of use and durability
• Accuracy of factual material
• Relation to existing collection

9. Collection Development in the Digital
Age
• Collection development and content
acquisition is affected by trends in commercial
and scholarly publishing.
• An increase towards acquiring digital content
such as e-journals and databases
10. Weeding Out Loud
Striking a balance in collection management does not
entail throwing the books out with the bathwater.
11. Evaluation Policy
• Evaluation is tied into the goals and responsibilities of the library.
• Evaluation is a valuable tool of collection development.
• Remove physically deteriorated or obsolete materials in accordance with the library’s collection
management policy.
• Library Directors must not violate patrons’ intellectual freedoms by removing materials they deem
inappropriate, controversial or disapprove of.
• Preamble and Articles I and II of the Library Bill of Rights:
• Books should be provided for the community the library serves and materials should not be excluded
for arbitrary reasons such as the background or views of the author.
• Libraries should provide materials on a variety of viewpoints and materials should not be proscribed
or removed due to staff disapproval.

12. Back On the Shelf We Go
We Go! Back on the Shelf
We Go!
Maintaining an organized collection helps users find
materials easier and staff perform more efficiently
resulting in better service.
13. Organizing Print Library Materials
• Librarians are seeking new ways to store and organize
information in the digital age.
• Re-arrange collections to make them more user-friendly.
• Current trend among libraries is to organize materials in
similar categories or neighborhoods rather than sorting
items by the Dewey Decimal System.

organize collections. emissourian.com

14. Category or Neighborhood
Organization Method
• C3- Customer Centered Classification
• C3 allows libraries to make their collections
easier to browse.
• A library director attending an ALA conference
likened it to a “bookstore feel”.
• Many libraries will combine the C3 and Dewey
Decimal System method.
• C3 is mostly used for non-fiction collections.
15. Adjustable Shelves
• Adjustable Shelves allow staff flexibility to
accommodate different forms of media from
books, magazines and audio-visual materials.
16. Library Preserves are Sweet
Preserving a fragile physical collection now keeps
you out of a pickle later.
17. Preservation
• IFLA definition: all the managerial and financial
considerations including storage and
accommodation provisions, staffing levels,
policies, techniques and methods involved in
preserving library and archive materials and the
information contained in them.

18. I’M THE CHEESE!
Unlike the ancient cheese and paper loving mice of old who have been
here for millennia and will never go away , the mice of new are more
“green” conscious and prefer paperless healthy meals( vegan cheese-
thank you) in bits and bytes.
19. Preservation Strategies
• Physical collections are mostly formatted in paper and audio-visual
form.
• Digitization poses opportunities and challenges to print materials.
• Collaborative Strategies between preservation and acquisitions
departments.
• Use third-party preservation organizations (Portico) and multi-
library programs like LOCKSS and CLOCKSS
• In spite of mass move towards increased digital content, there are
many reasons for maintaining print materials such as the Google
Book Search Law Suit
• Google Book Search Law Suit- Authors Guild et.al. vs. Google in
2005 Association of American Publishers vs. Google in 2005.
• 2002 Google began digitizing books in libraries; accused of massive
copyright infringement
20. Preservation Function
• Make preservation decisions strategically throughout
the lifecycle of the resources acquired or created by
the library
• Perform cost benefit and risk analysis of preservation
issues such as cost of conservation of special
collections.
• Deacidification preserves printed works.
• Disaster preparedness response plans
• Environmental Conditions and Housing- keep
materials in stabilized temperatures with low levels of
humidity as a cost effective way to preserve materials.
21. Smooth Sailing
Adhering to the collection development policy of a library in regards to
selecting, evaluating, organizing and preserving materials can result in
smooth sailing over turbulent waters in the high sea of digital change.
