Abstract
Libraries are continually challenged when it comes to the preservation and development of their collections, from ancient libraries and their collections of unique items to modern libraries with their large collections of mass-produced items. Beyond printing technology and resource availability, the challenges shaping collection development today include electronic resources, shifting publishing models, changing user expectations, and grim economic realities. This column discusses these challenges as they pertain to academic health libraries and reflects on the approaches that libraries are taking to address them.
