    Date and Time: Saturday, June 26, 2021 from 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. Central Time (US and Canada)

    Topic: Collection Evaluation and Assessment Interest Group Discussion

    Collection Assessment in the midst of a pandemic: what has changed, what has remained the same, and what does this mean for the future?

    In this informal discussion we're hoping to encourage colleagues to share their experiences and insight with collection assessment in the time of Covid.  Questions we would like to discuss include:

    How have collecting priorities changed and what does this mean for assessment going forward?  What new tools or methods did your library develop in order to meet new assessment priorities?  What collection evaluation and assessment projects were put on hold?  Permanently stopped? What projects were prompted by pandemic?  And many more….
