Making Room For Change: Rightsizing Psu’S Axe Library Serials Collection Powerpoint, Barbara M. Pope

Faculty Submissions

Print journal collection development has long been one of the traditional roles of academic librarians.

As the cost of textbooks rises and discoverability of resources improves, students are turning more and more to interlibrary loan to meet their textbook needs.

This paper looks at how a large research university made the decision to implement a textbook policy, and how it navigated the troubled waters to come to a simple, unmediated solution.
