Description
The University of Kentucky has long seen itself as the flagship University of the state and its Libraries have a collection development policy geared toward just in case collections and trying to be comprehensive in a world deluged with information and data. With all the changes in terms of moving instruction more online, budget challenges, and collecting more perspectives and viewpoints (DEI), the University of Kentucky is shifting towards a model of collection strategy based on core values and the mission of the Libraries and Institution. This shift affects how Acquisitions manages the budget and handles requests from users and librarians. This presentation will discuss the theory and what changes Acquisitions is making to deal with this new perspective.
