<div>Hi Bethany,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We’ve discussed this issue in my library over the past 3-4 years and as a result, I drafted changes to our collection development policy a few years ago. The full policy is available at</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<a href="https://library.wheaton.edu/sites/default/files/CollectionDevelopmentPolicy-WheatonCollege2016.pdf" target="_blank">https://library.wheaton.edu/si<wbr>tes/default/files/CollectionDe<wbr>velopmentPolicy-WheatonCollege<wbr>2016.pdf</a>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think the whole policy could be improved in many ways and we are working on making some changes to it, but there are two parts that touch on what you are asking about. In the opening segment (“Purpose of the Library’s Collections"), we write:
"Library collections fall into three broad categories: first and foremost, resources we own; second, resources for which we pay to provide access to our users, but we do not own (i.e. resources we lease);
<b>and third, highly selective resources that are freely available via open access publishing or other means.</b> Our top collections priority is resource ownership whenever possible, as we try to build collections that we can maintain and control
in perpetuity.” And then on pp. 4-5 there are more specifics about freely available resources, and this criteria was based on what I’d researched from other libraries.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As an aside, one of the in-class assignments I give students in the graduate courses I teach at Illinois’ iSchool is to break them up into two groups and have each group write an outline of a policy for freely available resources to present back
to the rest of the class. This is done within a short amount of time (about 45 minutes) and with no prior warning. I always enjoy the result and students, although a little nonplussed at first, seem to enjoy and learn a lot from it as well.</div>

If applicable, would anyone mind sharing their policy for acquiring, managing, and making accessible freely accessible/open access resources? Or could you point me in the direction of resources that may come in handy for developing this type of policy? I’ve
not had much luck finding these resources through the course of my own research. Please feel free to reply on or off list.<u></u><u></u></div>
