Franklin & Marshall College is a small undergraduate institution with a FTE of approximately 2,400 students. The library has been using a university press (mostly) approval plan with YBP since the 1990s and the time has come to reconsider the parameters of the current plan. Two subject-specific plans are working well but the larger plan is bringing in titles that are out of scope for the college’s curriculum.

Using the Franklin & Marshall College example, this presentation will discuss the approval plan revision process. Various methods will be highlighted, as well as local and vendor-supplied resources to facilitate designing the best plan for your library.
