ABSTRACT

Writing about the broader topic of Collection Development and Electronic Resources, Miller notes, “In the late 1970s and early 1980s, one sees little awareness of the revolutionary changes ahead.” 121 The same can be said of the late 1980s and early ’90s in regards to Reserve collections. Leading up to 1993, there was considerable discussion in the literature on “automating reserves,” that is, streamlining the processing of reserve materials through automation but no hint that the landscape of reserves at academic libraries was about to change forever.
