Floating Collections: A Model for Change

With tight budgets and the rising cost of delivery, libraries are investigating new models for collection development, including floating or shared collections.

• What does a library need to know when considering moving to a floating collection model?
• How do we, as library leaders, assist our organizations with evaluating the feasibility of a floating collection or partial floating collection?

Those attending the webinar will learn:

• What a floating or shared collection is;
• Why libraries move to a floating collection model;
• A step-by-step process detailing what to consider before, during and after implementation to a full or partial floating collection;
• How leaders can help their staff and organization move to this new model.

This one-hour webinar will be of interest to library managers and staff who manage collections.
