Collection Development Policies
The collection development policies describe collecting practices at WSU Libraries and define the scope and nature of the library collections for university faculty, staff, students, and administrators. Some policies cover general collections and resources while others address collecting in specific disciplines. The policies serve as:
guides to library collections and resources
descriptions of academic interests and programmatic needs
indicators of collection priorities, strengths, weaknesses, and past collecting practices
planning documents for future collecting
useful tools in resource-sharing and cooperative ventures with other libraries.
