This artifact shows an extensive collection planning that I completed at Strawbridge Elementary School.  It demonstrates my ability to evaluate a library based on geographical and collection demographics, access to resources that the library has including what is owned, borrowed, or able to be accessed, the library’s collection development plan, and the actual collections that the library houses. In addition, this artifact demonstrates my ability to conduct random sampling of a library collection, collection mapping, and my ability to identify areas of improvement for the library.
