----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Hi Elizabeth - if you search library literature, you may find the guidelines you are looking for. There are also lost of books of compiled example policies you may wish to use as a model. I recently wrote a couple policies for our art and architecture collection which you can view on the web if you like at: http://www.lib.umich.edu/libhome/ArtArch.lib/artpolicy.html and http://www.lib.umich.edu/libhome/ArtArch.lib/archpolicy.html Hope this helps. ******************************************************************** Janine Odlevak Ph: 313.764.1303 Assistant Librarian FAX: 313.763.2322 Art & Architecture Library email: [log in to unmask] 2000 Bonisteel Blvd. University of Michigan Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109-2069 ******************************************************************** On Thu, 27 Jun 1996, Elizabeth Bilyeu - Oregon School of Arts/Crafts wrote: > ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- > My main task for the summer is to write a collection development policy > for our book library.
