“…6 The research literature consistently states that the importance of the CDP is to supply librarian selectors with the goals and guidelines "that become the roadmap, the compass, and the force that guides and drives the decisions and activities of" selectors and enables them to "know what the thrust of the collection is or is not going to be." 7 The CDP is an articulation that helps ensure that "the library meets the information needs of its service population in a timely and economical manner." 8 All these statements remain as valid purposes for having a written CDP.…”

This paper identifies and reviews some of the currently relevant components of collection development which contribute to the need for having a written collection development policy (CDP) in place. The requisite elements for a pertinent and usable CDP are identified, keeping in mind the need to customize these policies to each library’s unique needs. A literature review is presented to demonstrate the long-standing purposes of collection development policies (CDPs), quantitative studies of existing CDPs, and some of the inherent drawbacks in the creation and application of these policies. The author presents a case study which demonstrates the processes undertaken to create a CDP for a medium-sized academic library. This includes more current and relevant considerations for a modern day CDP. The paper also includes the best practices identified throughout the policy creation process and which has the potential to be applied to other similarly situated libraries.

Although many college and university libraries support teacher education programs, relatively little attention has been paid to developing juvenile literature collections that support these programs. This paper discusses needs of education students and characteristics of juvenile literature which academic librarians should consider when developing collections. It examines standard tools for selecting children's and young adult materials and analyzes their usefulness for building collections that support teacher preparation programs. Finally, it provides practical advice for evaluating juvenile collections and selecting materials to fill gaps in support for teacher preparation programs in mathematics, art, and other subjects. This manuscript has not been published elsewhere and has not been submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere. 2 Building and Evaluating Juvenile Collections in Academic LibrariesVirginia K.
