Collection Management

Libraries select, maintain, and provide access to information and materials in a variety of formats for all ages of the community to fulfill their educational, informational, recreational, and cultural needs. Libraries have a policy that addresses the selection and evaluation of materials and their weeding process.

Collections may be expanded beyond the physical boundaries of libraries through resource sharing, cooperative collection management, electronic resources and virtual collections. Libraries are encouraged to enhance their collections by participating in interlibrary loan practices and utilizing digital resources through national, state, regional, and local cooperative programs.
