EXPLORING COLLECTIONS 2:NEW UNDERSTANDING
Pro Tips:
Ask yourself:How does this relate to me?
What do I want to learn more about?
![Page 22: Collection Development in Cambodia](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55cc8f61bb61eb7e398b45a4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
COLLECTIONS: THE DEFINITION
• the act or process of getting things from different places and bringing them together
• a group of interesting or beautiful objects brought together in order to show or study them or as a hobby
![Page 23: Collection Development in Cambodia](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55cc8f61bb61eb7e398b45a4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
COLLECTIONS: FUNCTIONS
• Collections can have many different functions.
• Functions depend on who is creating/curating the collection and why.
• Functions also depend on the community, if any, a collection serves.
• Archival: some collections are designed to preserve materials.
• Subject-specific: some collections are topical in nature and serve to centralize.
• General: some collections aim to include every material available in a geography.
• The curator of the collection should have a description of their collection so they know how to keep the collection in existence.
![Page 24: Collection Development in Cambodia](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55cc8f61bb61eb7e398b45a4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
COLLECTIONS AND COMMUNITIES• Collections are often found within a specific community.
• Communities, like collections, are all very different.
• A collection can aid a community by supporting the function and behavior of the community.
• A community that does not find value in the collection might not use the collection.
• A collection might still be valuable to a community that does not use it.
• A community might have multiple collections of the same types of resources available to them.
• The curator of the collection should understand how the collection relates to its community and how the community relates to the collection.
![Page 25: Collection Development in Cambodia](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55cc8f61bb61eb7e398b45a4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
COLLECTIONS WITHIN THE LIBRARY• A library is not a collection, but a building (or digital space) that is used to contain collections and allow people to access them.
• A library may have more than one collection depending on the size and purpose of the library.
• A library may also serve multiple communities or different groups of people within a singular community.
• Collections within a library, like collections in general, grow in many ways: some gain new items, some lose old items.
• It is the goal of the librarians to understand how to best keep and/or change their collections to make the library the best place it can be for the enhancement of knowledge among the people who visit the library.

NEW COLLECTIONS WITHIN THE LIBRARY Communities are constantly changing.
Collections usually need to change as well to meet the new needs of the community.
A collection within a library should be reliable but should be interesting and engaging.
The prevalence of digital culture throughout the world has challenged libraries.
Many libraries are now going beyond keeping only books in their collections.

OTHER COLLECTIONS How can the librarians with their own collections learn from the following collections?
Pay attention to the possibilities that might exist as you think about developing your own collection.

ACTIVITY FOUR: INDEPENDENT REFLECTION (10 MIN) Silently write down a short response about what they have learned and what has surprised them.
Additionally, everyone is required to think of one type of material that they would like to see collected by a library or other organization (or a business or individual) and how it would benefit a specific community.

FUTURE THINKING
Pro Tips:
Challenge your understandingApply new knowledge
Think critically
![Page 43: Collection Development in Cambodia](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55cc8f61bb61eb7e398b45a4/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS ON COLLECTIONS Collections are composed of information objects.
Information is created, shared, received, and then interpreted.
Collections represent the people who have access to them.
Collections can represent very diverse information sets.
Collections can be composed of many different types of objects.
Collections require constant care and attention to be useful.
Collections can move in many directions: they can grow, and they can lessen.

FINAL ACTIVITY: THE BETTER COLLECTION, PT 1
Each group chooses one collection that exists in the real world. This should be a collection one of the team members works on. If no one in the group works in a collection, the team will have to create a fictional collection. National Library of Cambodia by Peta Hopkins

FINAL ACTIVITY: THE BETTER COLLECTION, PT 2 Once the collection is described and the team members understand it, the group will answer the following:
Who uses this collection/what is the community the collection is a part of? What are the benefits of the collection so far and how is it already being used?
What can be improved upon? Is there anything radically different that could be done to the collection to encourage its use?
What risks are at play (what problems might occur) with changing the collection?
