In my current primary school library it is in the beginning stages of collection development as it only opened it Term 4 last year. Thee collection is increasingly at a steady rate with the base collection catering for general students interest topics/subjects.

A mixture of Quantitative data has been generated through OLIVER to view in-house circulation statistics such as popular titles, least borrowed items, stage based topic selection preferences etc. This allows for further planning around future acquisitions. In the future, access to more E-resources will be highly desirable for students to access.

When it comes too curriculum mapping with teachers, this has just began. A list has been created to begin to purchase relevant resources required to cater for hub teachers at the school to aide with their teaching of the NSW English Curriculum. This is quite a task and is only catering for what teachers require in the immediate and one term in advance. Further planning is needing to be done in this area.

In regards to Qualitative methods, I plan to create user opinion surveys. This is a really good place to start in my opinion in regards to consulting what teachers and students would like to see within the library collection. Perhaps another aspects I would like to see happen in these early stages is user observation- data can be obtained on where students are likely to borrow from.
