Hi Traci: Collection development policies for art museum libraries are included in the ARLIS/NA Occasional Paper No. 12, Collection Development Policies for Libraries & Visual Collections in the Arts, compiled by Ann Baird Whiteside, Pamela Born, and Adeane Alpert Bregman. I think it's still available from ARLIS headquarters (look on the Web site)--and might also be in the university library where Jeff is taking classes.

Jie and I, along with one other classmate, have chosen the SAAM library. A part of the assignment is to review policies of similar libraries in the U.S. I searched the sites for Freer-Sackler and San Francisco AAM libraries for their CD policies but without success. I'm sure such large institutions have them. Do you have any colleagues working in AAM libraries whom we might be able to ask for a copy of their policy?
