Collection Development for Print- Proble
33. INTRODUCTION
Collection development is a term that is used by
the library community to refer to "the selection and
acquisition of material for an expanding collection
and decisions on the material to be included in that
collection“.
Typically, collection development decisions apply at
different stages of an institution's workflow, including
the selection, acquisition, processing, housing,
weeding, retention, preservation, relegation and
discarding of library materials.
34. Collection development is a process of building
up and improving the collection in the library and it
is a very important function of a library.
Collection development is now viewed as being a
part of the wider activity of collection management,
which includes "collection policy development,
materials budget allocation, selection, collection
analysis, collection use and user studies, training
and organisation of collection development staff,
preservation, and cooperative collection
development“.

of a title when:
The print format is more convenient to
use.
Popularity of the use of the title in a print
format.

as tables, charts, graphs, statistics, images
etc, which are better presented and copied
in print, rather than electronic or other

37. This presentation attempts to highlight the major problems of
collection development such as information sources from the point of
view of a university librarian.
Collection developments involve understanding the nature of
requirements of users and anticipating their demands.
Collection development is not just equivalent to acquisition of
documents but much more than that. Acquisition of documents
consists of selection and procurement of documents. Document
selection is a highly professional work.
Acquisition work involves three sets of people.
(i) Library management and users.
(ii) Librarian and library staff (iii) Publishers and suppliers.
Hence acquisition problems can be looked from three different ways.
38. Document Acquisition Problems
1. Document selection Problems.
2. Lack of Man power resources.
3. Financial restrictions.
4. Lack of support from teaching staff.
5. Lack of proper weeding out policy.
6. Background or Document Acquisition Transaction.
7. Need of Subject Background.
8. Multiplicity of Vendors.
9. Document Procurement Problems.
10. Need for Avoiding Duplication.
11. Choice of Vendors and Problem of Local Vs Foreign
Suppliers.
12. Problems Relating to Terms of Payment.
13. Price Verification.
14. Vendor Controlled Order Plans.
15. Problems of subscription to journals.
16. Other Problems of Documents Acquisition.
39. Conclusion
Collection development deals with re-interpretation of
traditional library mission and practices for the digital
library environment. Information professionals have to
actively develop, maintain and manage wide range of
resources. Collection development should aim at
balancing among buying,
borrowing and available space. There are a number of
problems in collection development. Many are common
and few are unique to library concerned.
