This session explores strategies to increase subject liaison engagement in collection development decisions through data-driven approaches. Librarians from both mid-size and large institutions will share strategies to help subject liaisons make informed collections decisions using data, collaborative discussion, and subject expertise. We will discuss challenges that librarians may face while doing collection development in addition to their other job duties and open the discussion up for the audience to speak from their own experiences.
Learning Objective(s): 1) Identify common challenges subject liaisons face in balancing collection development with other responsibilities; 2) Develop practical approaches to data driven decision making into liaison workflows; and 3) Collaborate with peers to share ideas and solutions for increasing liaison engagement in collection development.
