Rationale: Library professionals work with information resources in various stages and in varying capacities. Emerging information resources constantly re-shape library and information practices and all library professionals should be able to describe and work with a variety of information resources. Library professionals, regardless of their specific title and/or role, should have foundational skills and knowledge to:
2A. Consider the issues related to the lifecycle of recorded knowledge and information, from creation through various stages of use, in relationship to material format and genre.
2B. Apply the concepts, issues, and methods of collection management, which entails the lifecycle of materials from evaluation to long-term preservation and other curative practices (including but not limited to acquisitions, selection, purchasing, processing, storage, and de-selection).
2C. Include emerging formats and genres of information resources and understand how these may intersect with and reflect the diverse and cultural needs of the information communities through the management of collections.
