**Books, E-ink and Databases, Oh my! Collection Development in the 21st Century**
Wednesday, October 26th, 2011 8:30am – 4:30pm
 * Presenters:** **Laura Pearle, Buffy Hamilton, Wendy Stephens, Angela Carstensen, Frances Harris**

In this workshop, the presenters will talk about best practices in purchasing resources and making them available to the community. They will also help participants create strategies for dealing with 20th-century educators. This all day preconference will encompass three themes: flipping the collection/renovating the space, collection development and future planning. Participants will leave with a personalized toolkit that will enable them to meet these challenges and to become change agents in their local library communities.
