Guidelines for a Collection Development Policy using the Conspectus Model

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.

With the help of WLN (Western Library Network), with the support of the Research Library Association, a summary of the following revised depth indicators was developed in the beginning of 1996 and 1997. Over 30 active Conspectus users from the US and abroad will cooperate to update the original language to improve the use of the definition without reducing the value of the evaluation using the original definition. The revised definition is trying to define uniformly the results of all topics. Therefore, the definition is universal. Supplemental guidelines have been developed and should be continued from now on to convey general understandings of definitions of novels, child literature, architecture, etc. in the context of a particular topic or field.

The collection development policy establishes the principle of Purdue University's Fort Wayne Library for the selection, acquisition, evaluation and maintenance of information resources in electronic, printed and unprinted formats. The collection policy reflects the philosophy clarified by the mission of Purdue University and the Fort Wayne Library mission of Purdue University and conveys guidelines to teachers, students, staff, and other stakeholders.
