Folks,

We're going to be overhauling our collection development policy in the
near future. I've looked on the web and saw a trend toward more compact
collection development policies (5-6 pp.) with a few addendums (mostly
ALA stuff; Bill of Rights, Freedom to View, etc.) Are other people
noticing a similar trend toward a shorter collection development policy?
Has anyone been through this process within the past 18 months?

All feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

John

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
