This collection development plan was created for Mary D. Pretlow Library in LIBS 658: Knowledge Resources: Planning, Selecting, & Managing Collections. After completing an environmental scan, I identified three areas in which the collection needed to improve. I examined the needs for more Spanish language fiction books, additional juvenile books about Black/African American characters, and the access to library cards without a parent signature for patrons 13+. This assignment includes a three-year plan for each improvement, describing the changes and assessment measures for each.
Student Learning Objectives:
1. Create innovative responses to the needs and interests of diverse and global communities.
4. Access, synthesize, and evaluate information to assist information seekers.
