Project Abstract

Abstract
Collection development is a critical aspect of library management, ensuring that libraries have a relevant and up-to-date collection of resources to meet the needs of their users. In libraries that serve both academic and non-academic units, the allocation of resources for collection development can be a complex and challenging task. This research project aims to explore effective allocation strategies for collection development in libraries that cater to both academic and non-academic users, including public and special libraries. The study will examine the current practices and challenges faced by libraries in allocating resources for collection development among different types of units. By conducting interviews and surveys with library staff, administrators, and users, the research will identify the key factors that influence allocation decisions, such as user needs, budget constraints, and collection priorities. The project will also investigate the role of collaboration and communication between academic and non-academic units in the allocation process. Furthermore, the research will explore best practices and innovative strategies for optimizing resource allocation in libraries with diverse user groups. This may include implementing data-driven decision-making processes, leveraging usage statistics and feedback from users to inform collection development decisions. The study will also consider the potential benefits of adopting a more flexible and dynamic approach to resource allocation, allowing libraries to adapt to changing user needs and preferences. In addition, the project will analyze the impact of digital resources and emerging technologies on collection development and allocation strategies. With the increasing availability of digital content and online resources, libraries face new challenges in managing and allocating resources effectively. The research will investigate how libraries can leverage digital tools and platforms to enhance their collection development practices and ensure equitable access to information for all users. Overall, this research project aims to contribute to the field of library and information science by providing insights into effective allocation strategies for collection development in libraries serving diverse user groups. By identifying best practices and innovative approaches to resource allocation, the study seeks to help libraries optimize their collections and better meet the needs of academic and non-academic users in today's rapidly evolving information landscape.
