Honesty is the Best Policy: Collection Development Policy Revisions in an Era of Change

摘要

As I prepared to write this column, my last as the contributing author for collection development for TSLL, I revisited both the journey I have taken over the last two years and the writing I have completed as a result of it. Thinking about each collection development project, I reviewed my own observations, methods, and guiding principles. In both the lessons I have learned and the ways in which I have tried to convey those lessons, I have taken one vital element of my work for granted. I have not highlighted the vitally important task of collection development policy revision.
