Abstract

We, in Illinois, have devoted much time and energy in the last several years to promoting the theories and methods of collection analysis, collection management, and cooperative collection management among our libraries. The conspectus approach to collection management is one we have devoted a great deal of time and effort to teaching and promoting—often using the carrots of grant funding, followed by the sticks of mandated collection analysis.
