Decision Making for Collection Management |
| |
| Abstract: | Just as the collection development policy is based on the objectives, scope and goals of a library, so is the broader collection management policy. Collection management goes beyond a policy of acquiring materials to address policies on retention, discard and weeding, preservation, and housing. A clear policy for each stage of materials handling contributes to the long range success of collection development. The author also points out the costs involved with each of these activities that library administrators must be aware of for effective management of the collection. |
