LIS assistant professor Andrea Jamison writes: “As part of my dissertation in 2020, I researched the collection development policies of academic libraries. I looked specifically at universities and colleges with ALA–accredited LIS programs that offer master’s degrees or library programs with concentrations or career pathways in children’s services. It was important to situate this study within this context because these types of library programs provide the requisite skills and training needed for the selection and acquisition of children’s books. Academic libraries with children’s collections that support these types of programs can and should serve as models for collection practices.”
