Target audience: This seminar is for children’s and young adult librarians and collection development staff with an interest in building collections for young people.

Approach: the Seminar will consist of fairly short and lively segments with plenty of punchy comments and illustrations. There will be no formal papers and preachers, there will be much interaction and space for engagement.

The seminar will cover topics such as:
Who are you collecting for? Why have a CDP? Local Government Procurement: what is it all about? How do I be a good customer? What are the ins and outs of Outsourcing? What are the challenges facing speciality areas?
There will be plenty of time for round the table discussions and workshops to give you a chance to speak up and share your ideas.
