Lisa shared notes and information from the LIANZA one day workshop on Collection Development - a tall order in the short time span, but she certainly covered all the essentials of the whole collection planning cycle - from knowing your "stakeholders", documenting the approach and policy, identifying needs and priorities, knowing how to deal with challenges, through to the sometimes fraught aspect of "de-selecting"...

Here is the link on Google Docs to the slides shared by Lisa.
