7.2 Collecting Information Processing

Library Collection Development is the process of meeting the information needs of the people in a
timely and economical manner using information resources locally held, as well as from other
organization.
Collections are developed by librarians and library staff by buying or otherwise acquiring materials
over a period of time, based on assessment of the information needs of the library’s users.
In addition to ongoing materials acquisition, library collection development includes:
• the creation of policies to guide material selection
• replacement of worn or lost materials
• removal (weeding) of materials no longer needed in the collection
• planning for new collections or collection areas
• cooperative decision-making with other libraries or within library consortia.

Examine the collecting information processing in library.
