Collection Development SIG Retreat

The July 18 ACLCP Collection Development SIG meeting at the US Army Heritage & Education Center in Carlisle was a resounding success. Twenty people gathered to hear Jane Smith Stewart talk about disaster preparedness and recovery for collections in cultural institutions. Many thanks to the gracious hosts at AHEC for helping make the meeting hospitable, run smoothly, and for opening their beautiful facility to us.

Topics suggested for future meetings:

·Selection, management, and publicity of ebooks

·Impact of food/drink on collections, especially when food or drink concession is adjacent to or in the library

·Continuation of discussion of possible role ACLCP could play in disaster preparedness at a consortial level, particularly as it pertains to collections
