Our collection assessment is not done by a formal committee, rather is done through the workflow of
multiple positions in different departments.
Project-dependent. There is currently a Data Dashboard group that meets weekly.
Various subgroups meet on different bases, CMC (which includes members of Collection Development,
Resource Management, Acquisitions, and Discovery) meets monthly. Other groups may meet more or
less infrequently and formally.
We do have a Collections Committee (7 staff members) that meet on a monthly basis. This group is
responsible for reviewing policies/procedures for the library system. If a large-scale assessment project
for the library system were to be undertaken, this committee would be the first staff involved and likely
oversee the project. Membership on the committee rotates each year. Members serve two-year terms.
We don’t necessarily meet since we have a process in place. Each person contributes to the
overall project.
We meet weekly.
