We believe the users are central to all aspects of planning this collection and, we hope, are reflected in every aspect of the final collection.
What would a collection be without use? The intended use is built into the grant, and we hope careful planning will make this collection fulfill Mr. Wigglesworth's wish and more:
I'm hoping that the youth of Gotham today will enjoy this wonderful storytelling style as much as I did. It's just as important to feed the imagination and see the world as it could be as it is to build our knowledge of the world as it is.
Our collection development plan says:
In order to start developing our collection, we looked for current and well-regarded resources for finding the most appropriate titles for this age group. We want to purchase content that is popular and age appropriate.
Our organization & access plan says:
Gearing the collection to teen patrons will require attention to issues of physical location/appearance of titles as well as the electronic accessibility of records. Organization and access issues take on an added layer of meaning when cultural literary differences and the wide development span of teens are thrown into the mix.
