[Eril-l] Electronic resources collection development policy

[Steve Oberg]

Thanks, Andrea! As I reflected on my previous response, it seemed like unsolicited advice on my part, and a bit presumptuous. Sorry!

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!
