Re: [LM_NET] Target: prioritizing 101 for Librarians

[Amy Ipp <LU83@AOL.COM>]

Just another two cents worth added here. I think that the primary objective  
should be to aim for balance whenever possible. Of course, interacting with  
students is the top priority. Helping them and talking to them helps develop  
collection development priorities because you find out what they need and want. 
 If you neglect collection development and maintenance the students will 
suffer  over time. It's hard to keep shelves in order but a basic order is 
necessary as  well as discarding worn copies of books and replacing them with 
something  suitable when there are funds. There are only so many hours in a day and 
we are  all in different situations (amount of help and money) so each 
librarian's  unique situation truly sets the priorities.
