Collection Development Policy Statements
Back to Collection Services Page

This page introduces a series of documents that describes the dynamic state of library collections at Cornell University. Each statement was written by one of the thirty bibliographers, curators, and selectors responsible for managing a subject or area and reflects that librarian's view of constituencies, collection strengths, formats and other issues. The documents are organized here by four headings, reflecting the groups that coordinate collection development in the library.

Immediately below appear references to introductory materials on collection development at Cornell University Library, to a list of subjects and those librarians responsible for materials related to them, to a glossary of terms and abbreviations used by the authors and to relevant documents pertaining to gifts and exchanges.As throughout the document, selecting underlined text takes the reader to a corresponding section.
