When my placement at Coutts began I was also starting a course on collection development. Prior to the class and placement, my knowledge of the role of book vendors and approval plans in building a library’s collection was sketchy at best. The course and placement were an interesting juxtaposition because of the different perspectives they offered. On one hand, the professor for my collection development class provided us with a cautionary viewpoint alerting us to the temptation to surrender our skills and knowledge in collection development to book vendors. On the other hand, my time at Coutts provided me with insights into the importance that book vendors and approval plans can play in building a library’s collection.
