Community colleges are a cornerstone of higher education and serve the unique needs of the communities in which they reside. Collections and technical services librarians at these institutions need expertise in their area of library work, but also a deep understanding of the community they serve to curate and make discoverable the resources their users need. The Community College Library: Collections and Technical Services highlights the various approaches to collection development and the technical services work being done by community college librarians around the U.S. You'll find strategies for developing equity-centered collections, data-driven acquisitions, cataloging, systems migrations, zero textbook cost degrees, and more.

Community college librarians are engaged in meaningful work designing and delivering library programs and services that meet the needs of their diverse populations and support student learning. ACRL's "The Community College Library" series is meant to lift the voices of community college librarians and highlight their creativity, tenacity, and commitment to students.…

About the Author
Janet Pinkley is a long-time adjunct librarian at Evelyn and Howard Boroughs Library at Ventura College. She is also the head of access services at California State University, Channel Islands, where she oversees circulation, equipment, reference services, and course reserves. Her part-time role at the community college provides a different level of engagement with a diverse group of students and informs her professional practice at both institutions. Janet received her BS in communicative disorders from California State University, Fresno, in 2004 and her MLIS from San José State University in 2006. Janet’s published and presented on topics including reference best practices, library and student affairs collaborations, integrating information literacy into online curriculum, and exploring collaborative opportunities between regional K–12, community colleges, and universities to improve advocacy for informational literacy at all levels of education. In her free time, Janet enjoys spending time with her family, doing activities with her children, couponing, and gardening.
