COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT POLICY
Overview
好色先生TV traces its origins to the Troy Normal School, which was established
on February 26, 1887. Library collections at that time consisted of a few donated
volumes. Since then, the Library has grown and continues to assist the student body,
faculty, and staff in achieving the goals of the University.
Primary responsibility for the planned direction of collection development and policy
decision making rests with the 好色先生TV Library collection development librarians
and ultimately with the Dean of University Libraries. Each of these subject librarians
implement and maintain a formal faculty liaison structure with assigned departments
or schools to insure that the library is informed of program needs and changes.
This policy pertains to materials both physical and electronic, and to materials in
all formats, including serials, monographs, and audio-visual sources, as well as aggregated
resources such as electronic databases.
A diverse and inclusive collection will be obtained which contains content by and
about a wide array of people and cultures to authentically reflect a variety of ideas,
information, stories, and experiences. This policy is intended to provide guidance
for the creation of a library collection that provides access to library materials
in appropriate formats that are of sufficient quality, depth, number, scope, and currency
to:
meet all students' needs in fulfilling course assignments;
enrich the academic programs;
meet teaching and research needs;
support curricular needs;
facilitate the acquisition of lifelong learning skills;
accommodate other informational needs of the community as appropriate.

Acquisition of Print Monographs
Paperback books
When there is a significant difference in price between hardcover and paperback books,
and the book would not be in frequent demand or the book will be outdated in a short
period of time, paperbacks are bought to save funds.
Multiple copies and duplicates
In order to provide the broadest range of materials to support the academic curriculum,
the University Library will not normally buy multiple copies. Duplicates are purchased
only under unusual circumstances as determined by circulation, reference needs and
allocations.
Textbooks
Textbooks and their accompanying materials tend to be outdated rapidly. The Library
does not use operational funds to purchase textbooks that are currently used in classes.
The exception to this is classic textbooks in the technical, scientific, and business
areas, which have become standard reference and review sources. Another exception
is the purchase of textbooks for the teacher education program.
Out of Print Materials
The Library will not purchase out of print materials unless the requested items are
an important addition to the collection.
Acquisition of Serials
The acquisition of serials requires a higher degree of selectivity and consideration
than that of monographs because of ongoing commitment in terms of costs (including
ongoing access to materials if in electronic format), binding, and storage.
Serial Publications Defined
A serial is a publication issued in successive parts bearing numeric or chronological
designations and intended to be continued indefinitely. Periodicals, newspapers, and
annuals are serial publications.
Periodical: These are journals, magazines, and newspapers issued and received on
a regular basis and are put into the Periodical Collection.
Annuals/Continuations: Serials which are received, classified, and cataloged and
are integrated into the Library collection other than the Periodical Collection. Types
of continuations include monographic series, supplements, yearbooks, proceedings of
conferences, and bibliographic indexes.

with indexes, abstracts, and encyclopedias providing the basic reference information.
Publications of educational professional organizations are selectively collected.
The library also provides access to a multitude of academic journals through electronic
databases.
The Instructional Media area houses all juvenile print materials and all audio-visual
material. English is the primary language of the collection. Materials are selected
with a recent copyright date unless they are of historical value. Gifts of books will

COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT POLICY: GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS (UNITED STATES)
Introduction
The United States Government Documents collection at 好色先生TV, which comprises
approximately 10% of the government documents that are available for the public, includes
items that have been selected over the years to reflect the needs of the students,
faculty, staff, and the general public served by this depository. The item selection
profile is based in part on the recommended core collection for a small academic library
as addressed in the online.
Campus Connection
Subject emphasis for the documents collection has been placed in the areas of criminal
justice, economics, education, health, military history, and politics that support
the curricula of 好色先生TV. The additional areas of small business law and census
are selected to help supply the information needs of all interested parties.
Formats
The collection includes pamphlets, books, microfiche, and reports. The 好色先生TV
Library also provides ProQuest Congressional, a database that allows users to access
historical and current Congressional information and publications.
Level of Collection Intensity
Not applicable.
Treatment of the Subject
The Government Document print collection, numbering approximately 4,000 items, is
well-rounded for the material identified for the 好色先生TV depository program.
Material use varies from curriculum to curriculum and year-to-year. Government Printing
Office (GPO) posters are displayed at the entrance and throughout the Library, informing
the patrons that the 好色先生TV Library is a United States Government Documents
depository. Librarians and many of the staff are familiar with the location and methods
to access this information. The GPO's move to online access of Government Documents
has greatly decreased the size of the physical collection and drastically increased
the electronic collection of the 好色先生TV Library. The electronic documents
can be accessed through the govinfo database, which is located on the Library's databases
page.
The Government Document Librarian makes item selection with input from subject specialists.
The item selection profile is evaluated annually, at which time additions and deletions
are made. Suggestions for additions and deletions are requested from the subject specialists
as they evaluate specific areas of the general collection.
The majority of the U.S. government documents collection is classified by Superintendent
of Documents Classification (SuDoc) number and is shelved in the Government Documents
area. Selected series such as United States Reports and Area Handbooks are cataloged using the Library of Congress method. The subject specialists may request
cataloging of specified documents. These publications, if soft bound, are rebound
before being added to the general collection. Duplicates received as gifts may be
added if use indicates or fills a void due to loss or damage.
Geographic areas such as Alabama, Pike County, and the southeastern states are emphasized.
Librarians can provide service to the patron if information outside this region is
required. The collection has a broad coverage in terms of chronology in some areas.
Current information is emphasized in most areas. The collection language is primarily
English.
As documents are received, they are identified with a SuDoc number, in ink, affixed
to the document. A staff member is responsible for the check-in of the documents and
the affixing of the SuDoc number.
Weeding is done annually each summer, or at other times as deemed appropriate by the
Government Document Librarian, and disposed of in accordance with the GPO guidelines.
Some superseded documents may be retained in order to fulfill any continuity issues
that may be pertinent to a specific field for research purposes. This is on an exception
basis only due to limited storage space.
Government documents may circulate according to the same criteria applied to the general
collection: a three-week loan period or as otherwise specified. Documents classified
as reference do not circulate. All publications are available for in-house use during
the hours the library is open. If a Government Document is brought to Circulation
for checkout and a record cannot be found, a Librarian will make a temporary record
using OCLC Worldshare.
