What is Collection Development?
The NSCC Library continually tries to promote the systematic development and evaluation of print, audiovisual, and electronic materials in the Library and Media collections. As the variety of programs at NSCC increases and as new ways to access information continue to be developed, guidelines need to be established for selecting and providing access to information sources within budgetary constraints. This policy is reviewed periodically by librarians, faculty and staff to insure that collections are developed with consistency, authority and timeliness.
