Scholarly Papers and Articles
Patron-initiated collecting via interlibrary has been examined regularly in the literature over the last decade, with articles examining the topic at public libraries, liberal arts colleges and large doctoral institutions. This paper examines a patron-initiated collection development program at Grand Valley State University (GVSU), a comprehensive university with an enrollment of 24,000 students. It compares GVSU's experiences with those at other types of institutions. The paper also discusses the different models used to assess the success of these programs within the literature and how GVSU used WorldCat Collection Analysis, circulation statistics and peer comparisons to assess its program.

This paper looks at the different needs and interests of comprehensive universities and will focus on the challenges faced in evaluating collections in three distinct university library settings. Case studies from individual universities will be used to examine issues regarding different means of assessing electronic book collections, collection development policies, and library databases.
