SECTION III: RESPONSIBILITY FOR ONLINE DATABASE COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT

Library staff:

• work with their academic colleagues to build and develop the collection.
• work with the Acquisitions Department, National Library Board to acquire materials by purchase, gift, or exchange in relation to the availability of funding.
• will have final responsibility for the collection. Individuals making recommendations will be contacted when clarification is needed, when material does not seem to conform with the collection development policy, if an equivalent resource is available, or if anticipated use can be satisfied by borrowing or acquiring materials in response to a user’s request. Additional justification may be requested of the selector.
