Every chapter covers important collection development and budgeting objectives of the library, and proposes methods to assess cost and usage of the content received to determine effectiveness and potential modifications to UDA plans. Practical features that can be used in day-to-day operations include: ¿ Project management lifecycle with phases and steps for successful implementation ¿ Sample reports and executive summaries for administrators ¿ Marketing and branding strategies ¿ Step-by-step checklists ¿ Assessment tools and examples ¿ Multiple case studies of various types of libraries, including budgets and current UDA policies ¿ Evaluative survey questions ¿ Interview transcripts ¿ Glossary of terms and acronym explanations
