Draft Due for Workshop 5, final due one week later
3rd ed. textbook chapters: 9–10
Goal: To create a collection map that projects the future of the collection owned alongside the concept of connection development.
Product: A collection map in infographic format with speaker notes.
Tips: Proposed Collection Map and the Budget
The goal is to produce a proposed collection map that shows targets for the growth and development of the collection over a time period you designate.
Create a graphic that can be shown to a non-librarian audience. This graphic can be placed along side your current collection map. The first shows the status of the current collection.
For this map, you will need to repeat each collection segment of the previous map, but show where it will be moving and changing. For each collection segment pictured, make sure that you indicate Build, Maintain, or downsize; Quality indicators of your target, and the money needed to build or maintain the collection.
Remember that you can add new emphasis collections to this infographic that were not on the current collection map. These will be topics that you will be building to pull them out of core collection status into the emphasis collections.
Post your rough draft to the appropriate gallery where your Pres. 3 map was placed. Do this before workshop five. Make sure that your revised collection map from pres. 3 is on the left and your draft proposed collection map is on the right for comparison by the entire class.
After your proposed collection map has been approved and graded by the instructor, add the revision to the gallery if you have had to revise it.
Before submitting your final proposed collection map to Canvas, create a set of speaker notes as if you were a docent standing before the collection map and explaining it to a touring group. You can add the speaker notes on Canvas as a word document or text file and provide the URL for the map. Your instructor will look at the infographic as he listens to your speaker notes.
You should include the following in your speaker notes:
