[Eril-l] Electronic resources collection development policy

[Andrea Rodgers]

We plan to add electronic resources as a component of our traditional
collection development policy. Recently we've received requests from
campus departments to subscribe to very specific e-resources on their
behalf (one example is BoardVitals.com) because they don't have the
budgetary funding for them. This got us thinking that it would be good
to have something in writing about how we develop the library's
e-resources collection.

Best,

  One question that occurs to me on this issue is if/whether an
e-resources collection development policy is being developed separately
from a “traditional” collection development  policy? That may not be the
intent here, but if the answer is yes, I’ll voice my support for a
philosophy of unification ☺ By that I mean, thinking of collections as a
whole. I don’t mean to divert discussion away from the original
question,  though.

 I would be very grateful if people would share such policies on the
list, or Andrea if you would summarize  responses you get off list.  
  
 This would be helpful to us, too. Thanks!

  Hello,
 
 We are in the process of writing an electronic resources collection
development policy and are seeking examples. Anyone willing to share
their institution's policy with us? Feel free to email me off list.
 
 Many thanks in advance!
 
 Best,
