- Academic Branch Libraries: Assessment and Collection Development Poole, Julie Academic Libraries Library Services Distance Education Library Policy Evaluation Guidelines Surveys Nontraditional Students Multicampus Colleges Private Colleges An ongoing project at Mercer University's Regional Academic Center Libraries illustrates how utilizing established assessment guidelines, stakeholder input, and a clear understanding of audience and curriculum needs may all be used to optimize a collection. Academic branch libraries often have clear collection development limitations in terms of space and funding along with a specialized audience to serve. Quantitative and qualitative means for assessing branch library collections are employed to create a highly relevant and usable collection while maximizing available funding. Other distance education librarians involved in collection development for geographically distant locations may benefit from use of these methods.
