PLAN+AND+JOURNAL

October 28: Met with Mary Tiedemann at MSHS LC. Decided on the following PALS topics:

Collection Development: Weed the daylights out of the collection. Get rid of unused and dated materials. Buy very little non-fiction, except for specific titles that students and teachers specifically request and promise to use, or a limited number of new types of materials that I personally feel would enhance the collection. My primary job is to weed the collection, and get to know what is left. Subscription Databases: Get to know the existing subscription databases well, so that I can make strong selections for next year. E-Books: Start developing an e-book collection with both devices and computer access titles. Do this strategically.
