Collection development unofficially began in 1954 with the appointment of Lyman S. Tyler as director of libraries. Collection development in this early period was simply a program of acquisition, with the library purchasing large retroactive collections from book dealers with relatively little selectivity or focus. In 1961, Lyman Tyler appointed Dean Larsen as order librarian and to whom he transferred primary responsibility for collection development. Dean Larsen continued the emphasis on large-scale retroactive collection acquisition and expanded purchasing to serials. Following 1967, with the appointment of Donald K. Nelson as library director, internal methods of selectivity were developed and the role of the faculty in acquisitions was increased through the assigning of subject librarians to coordinate collection efforts by various academic departments.

In the 1970s, purchasing interest shifted to in-print rather than out-of-print items. Standing and blanket order programs were created and expanded. The collection development function was composed of a complex set of formal and informal cooperative relationships under the direction of the Assistant Director of Libraries for Collection Development who served concurrently as the head of the Acquisitions Dept. This arrangement lead to inconsistencies in overall collection development quality and focus and contributed to poor use of funds overall. Due to the Collection Analysis Project (CAP), finalized in 1979, the proposal of a Collection Development unit separate from the Acquisitions Dept. lead to the organizing of the Collection Development Division in 1980. The division was reorganized into the Collection Development and Public Services Division in 1990. Division heads included: A. Dean Larsen (1980-1990).

Description

Established: 1980

Abolished: 1990

Location: Provo, Utah (1980-1990)

Functions

The traditional role of collection development was to optimize resources used to evaluate and select materials maintained within the library which adequately supported the university’s teaching and research programs.

The functions of the division shifted over the years and are detailed by change and year below:

In 1980 the division housed the Bibliographic Dept., the Gifts Dept., the Preservation Dept., the Area Studies Bibliographers, the Non-Print Selection Dept., the Materials Selectors, and the Reference Dept.. The Collection Development Division organized the leave program which resulted in the drafting of departmental collection development policies and practices.

In 1981-1982 the Humanities and Arts Dept. was within Collection Development Division.

In 1982-1983 the division was responsible for the Conservation Lab.

In 1985-1986 the Special Collections Dept. and Manuscripts and Archives Dept. were added to the Collection Development Division; Conservation Lab was transferred back to the division.

In 1987 the Collection Development Division assumed responsibility for all subject reference services, the Computer-Assisted Research service, bibliographic instruction, and faculty liaison. Departments which had previously functioned primarily as independent subject reference units in Information Services were asked to focus more effort on collection development. Faculty were transferred from the Information Services Division to the Collection Development Division.

In 1988 the General Reference Dept. was transferred administratively from General Services Division to the Collection Development Division with Julene Butler as dept. chairperson. The CARS operation was decentralized and assigned to subject specialists in other Collection Development departments.

In 1989 the Computer Applications Dept. was transferred from Collection Development to the Technical Services Division.

Assets and Administrative Structure

In 1980 when the division was organized it was headed by an Assistant Director of Collection Development and Preservation who reported to the Director of Libraries. In 1982, the division was under the Assistant University Librarian for Collection Development and Preservation. In approximately 1985, the division was headed by an Assistant University Librarian for Collection Development who reported to the Director of Libraries.
