Collection Development Principles
We are guided by the Collection Development Selection Policy Statements listed below. The Dean's Library Council determined there is one Pennsylvania State University collection that is shared by all campuses.
In addition the Collection Development Council has begun working on Core Principles to guide the overall development of the collection.
