Diversifying collections with authentic and inclusive collection development strategies
Toronto, Canada
Library leaders—across institutions of sizes, types, and locations—are prioritizing collection diversity to authentically represent missing voices and perspectives. For some, it can be difficult to know where to start or how to allocate resources. This session will demonstrate how institutions are moving forward to build and sustain diverse print collections.

The Evolving Collection and Shift to Open

Big Shifts: Libraries, Collections, Networks
Philadelphia, PA, USA
Academic libraries increasingly define themselves in terms of student success, research support, and community engagement. We are seeing a major shift from the centrality of the collection, to services and to deeper engagement with changing research, teaching, and learning practices. This presentation frames important changes, identifies patterns in library responses, and discusses how they can use trends to their advantage. It draws on an extensive record of OCLC Research work on the future of libraries, on the shifting boundaries and character of library collections, on research support, on library collaboration, and on the shift to open.

The Effects of the Shift to Open on Research Libraries
Gdańsk, Poland
Last year, OCLC surveyed libraries from 82 countries around the world on their open content efforts, investments, and opinions. The majority (72% of 705 respondents) were from research and university libraries. In this session, Titia presents data from the majority group through the lens of Lorcan Dempsey’s collection directions and contextualizes the findings within the broader trend toward more openness. She also shares questions raised by the findings and suggests areas for further exploration.

The Limits to Growth: An Introduction
Baltimore, MD (USA)
While colleagues in the circulating library have developed sophisticated collective collection strategies as an alternative to building comprehensive collections, the growth imperative has gone relatively unexamined in special collections. This panel explores our responsibilities related to resource allocation and collection growth in the age of climate change, and imagine what it might look like to alter our growth patterns.
