Abstract

This chapter describes a broad anatomy collection development project undertaken by the Health Sciences Library of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The project included the selection of a wide range of new electronic resources and print materials to fully support the breadth of program needs and learning styles. As a case study, it provides ample opportunity to discuss strategies and best practices for materials selection to support multiple professional schools with similar but distinct curriculum needs. It also allows discussion of an equally critical but occasionally neglected aspect of collection development—marketing the resources to the users and continuing follow-up.
