Re: [LM_NET] Revision--Collection Development Plans

["drmichaelbell@virtuallrc.com" <drmichaelbell@VIRTUALLRC.COM>]

Janis,

I found two good Internet sites on this subject :

http://www.sldirectory.com/libsf/resf/coldev2.html

                   AND

http://www.dlapr.lib.az.us/cdt/colldev.htm

I hope this helps some.  I found them by searching the Virtual Learning Resources 
Center's Library /
Info Science subdivision for the phrase "collection development policies".

Sincerely,

Michael Bell
