Collection Development Policy

The Denver Public Library collects materials in a variety of common formats to support the role as the main source of information to meet the demanding needs of the metropolitan population. The collection also fulfills the public's welcome and entertainment needs, reflecting the ethnic, ethnic and cultural diversity of the community.

Customer usage has the greatest impact on the library collection. Distribution, customer purchase demands, retention levels are carefully monitored, causing purchase of additional copies of new and highly demanding items. Another driving force is the strategic plan of the library.

In addition to customer needs, you can choose to build a collection of world-class Western history / genealogy and African American research libraries, providing a deeply diverse perspective to existing collections. The Denver Public Library collects research in the fields related to Western history, genealogy, federal publications, and the history of African-Americans in Colorado and the Rocky Mountains.

Inherent in the concept of collective development is the evaluation of all customers of the Denver Public Library. The library provides materials to support everyone's journey, but it does not evaluate customers' needs and preferences. Even if the content is controversial, non-legitimate, or otherwise unacceptable to others, the library maintains the right for individuals to access information.

Materials for children and adolescents expand their horizons, support recreational reading, encourage and promote reading skills, complement their educational needs, stimulate and expand their interests, and recognize literature And leads to the evaluation, and reflects the diversity of the community. Children's reading and viewing activities are ultimately the responsibility of parents to lead and supervise the development of children. The Denver Public Library will not interfere with this relationship.

Collection development is the process of establishing and maintaining a collection of libraries.

Collection development policy: One of the first projects I started when I got a new job was to create a collection development policy for a special collection. The new policy focuses on the benefits of our collection, and the needs of Southwest students, teachers and customers. This approved in-place document is posted on our company's website so that everyone can view it, but at the same time, if you wish, you can access it from here. References: We have started collecting an ever-increasing collection of special collections in our office - so that everyone can use it. This collection focuses on important references to our collection and provides a "one stop shop" for employees and researchers who wants to find more information about our collection I aim for it.

This manual is a simple guide on how to write a collection development strategy and uses the Conspectus method. This is the result of approval by the IFLA Collecting and Collecting Development Department, and its global members lack a useful introduction on this important topic. This guide is designed to have special value for the staff in the written tradition of new goods developers and goods. If librarians can start writing group development policies, I hope it will be a difficult task at times.
