Competencies and Performance Indicators for a Course Entitled, Selection and Collection Development.
McWeeney, Mark G.
In order to improve the quality of education and student performance, the Library Science Department at Northwest Missouri State University has revised nine of its courses to include competencies and performance indicators. This report lists eight course objectives, 14 competencies, and five to seven performance indicators for each competency for a course on Selection and Collection Development. The specific competencies include the ability to evaluate the following materials: current book selection tools; the select lists of book selection tools; non-select lists of books; reviews of books; paperback selection tools; selection tools for serials; selection tools for reference books; selection tools for free and inexpensive materials; government document resources; microform selection aids; selection tools for hardware; and selection tools for software. Students should also be able to discuss selection policies and administrative concerns as they relate to the library material selection process. The performance indicators for each competency specify activities that the learner must perform to demonstrate that he/she has learned the material. (CGD)
