Library Collection Development Clause Samples

Library Collection Development. Faculty involvement in the development and maintenance of the LCC Library collection is a critical part of supporting and ensuring effective instruction. All faculty are encouraged to recommend additions to the collection, including books, journals, databases, eBooks, video, and other resource materials. Faculty members participate in this activity through the Collection Development Committee and its established guidelines and procedures. Books and other library materials selected should be chosen on the basis of their value in supporting the educational mission of the college and building a diverse collection supporting various points-of-view and ideas. In no case will library materials be excluded because of the race, nationality, sexual orientation, social, political, or religious views of the authors.
Library Collection Development. With the assistance of LS&S and others to the extent called upon for advice by the MPLB, the MPLB will establish a policy with respect to the collection of materials for the Library, which policy may be changed from time to time. LS&S will be responsible for compliance with such policy.
