The Mabee-Simpson Library: About the Library: Policies

Specific Policies

CDP: Collection Development Policy The CDP serves as a planning guide for developing the Mabee-Simpson Library’s collection and clarifies the selection criteria used to build and maintain the collection. Since library collections are dynamic and not static, this policy will be subject to periodic review. Secondly, it conveys to Lyon College and to other concerned parties, the rationale that underpins the decisions that the library staff makes about the way materials money is expended. In that regard, the CDP also serves as a vehicle to “close the loop” of communication back to the library, serving as a springboard for discussion and a catalyst for revisions and improvements to the CDP.
