Collection Development Policy

The Roosevelt University Library Collection Development Policy sets forth the principles which guide the selection, evaluation, and deselection of Library resources.  The purpose of this policy is to provide a written statement of the Library's objectives in building its collection, in order to provide guidance to selectors in developing a collection that best furthers the goals of the Library and the mission of the University.  By defining the reasons for collecting or not collecting certain types of resources, in relation to the needs of the various academic programs on campus, this policy provides solid guidelines to be referred to by selectors when making individual decisions.  It is also the purpose of this policy to communicate these objectives and guidelines clearly to all members of the University community, including Library staff, faculty, students, administrators, and others, in order to foster a clear understanding of the current nature of the Library and to aid in planning the future development of its resources.
