Learn: Collection Services and Development (Mira Green, Janeal Walker, Kirsten Bryson, Devin Mcghee, Galen Boydstun, CSD): The managers of CSD provided an overview of the collection development process based on questions submitted by the Access Manager group. They discussed how materials are purchased, how cataloged records are being updated, gave a sneak peek of Aspen, discussed the ILL process, and who to contact for which issue. They are working to update the Intranet with updated information and welcome calls / emails if there are questions. A link was provided showing contacts: https://my.metrolibrary.info/drupal/sites/default/files/documents/sendingguidelines2021.pdf
