Susan and Kristine will discuss how archivists obtain the information needed to write a finding aid for archival collections.  Attendees will learn what it means to gain intellectual control over a collection through processing, and how a finding aid conveys the level of control an archives has over its collection.

Mary will give a tour of the new Psychology Library and an overview the unique resources and databases in the rapidly changing field of Psychology. 

How does collection development take place in a major research library such as ours?  How do bibliographers and other professionals charged with collection development develop strategies for subject coverage, and how do they interact with Princeton's community of scholars?  This workshop introduces us to the work process and strategies of a range of professionals who will present the unique aspects of collection development within their subject areas and offer their perspectives on the challenges faced by the Library in its overall mission to maintain and expand the collections.
