Web Extra: Fundamentals of Managing Reference Collections

Here readers may download and adapt the Reference Collection Development Policy Template that appears as an appendix in Carol Singer’s Fundamentals of Reference Collection Management. This template is designed so that a librarian writing a reference collection development policy can choose one or more statements from each element of the policy and combine them to make the core of a policy. Every library has its own unique organization and policy considerations, so some editing and additional writing will be necessary to produce a completed policy that will reflect the environment and mission of the individual library.
