Collection Development

The two questions I had at the Reference desk, were about pedophiles and treatments, the other question referred to wealthy nations helping poorer nations, should they or shouldn't they?
Yesterday I talked to one of the Reference Librarians about Collection Development. I found it fascinating that a lot of the things she talked about were some of the very same things we talked about in the Collection development class that I took. She also talked about budgets and deciding what serials to keep and which ones to get rid of, which is never an easy decision. She also talked about when selecting books not to let personal bias get in the way. I hope to get to sit on a meeting regarding cutting serials. I think that should be interesting.
