· Structural changes within collection management departments, and outcomes

· Collection development and management activities across departments

· Paradigms of cooperative collection development in consortia

· Organizational changes and coordination with digitization projects

· Strategic planning that results in organizational changes

· Patron driven acquisitions and other emerging strategic foci as well as the changing role and work of collection managers

· Preparation in terms of skills sets, experience, and education for collection managers in new paradigms

· Theoretical discussion of the current state collection development and management in libraries

· Comprehensive literature review on paradigms of collection development and management

· The changing roles of collection managers or subject specialists
