In this Calvin and Hobbes cartoon by Bill Watterson, Calvin doesn't find what he needs at his public library. This raises some questions about collection decisions and PDA:
- How should libraries who feel committed to PDA respond to requests such as Calvin's?
- How are PDA systems and policies crafted to keep libraries from buying books they might feel are not a good use of their resources (like books on popular graffiti profanity)?
- How do we respond in a way that will keep patrons from feel like they don't know what the library is spending their money on?
