<div dir="ltr">Hi All,<div><br></div><div>Some institutions are moving away from set collection development policies to more collection development priorities or philosophies in order to make decision-making more timely for new models of content. In this regard, I recommend looking at the Orbis Cascade Alliance Best Practices for collection development document linked here: <a href="https://www.orbiscascade.org/shared-content-program">https://www.orbiscascade.org/shared-content-program</a></div><div>as well as the University of Washington Libraries Collection & Access Priorities noted here: <a href="http://www.lib.washington.edu/about/strategicplan/2014/directions/collections-access">http://www.lib.washington.edu/about/strategicplan/2014/directions/collections-access</a></div><div><br></div><div>Along similar lines, some institutions such as Yale have a broad collection philosophy but then also chosen to go with collection statements for various subject areas: <a href="https://web.library.yale.edu/policy/collection-development-statements">https://web.library.yale.edu/policy/collection-development-statements</a></div><div><br></div><div>By re-focusing a "policy" into a "priority" or "philosophy" academic librarians have more flexibility to respond to changing needs and develop models of collection access that better align with campus strategic plans. Priorities and philosophies can generally be changed or tweaked quicker than policies can in many institutions.</div><div><br></div><div>Jill</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Apr 24, 2018 at 12:53 PM, Brearcliffe, Donna <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dscanlon@loc.gov" target="_blank">dscanlon@loc.gov</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

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.<br>
