Abstract

Purpose

To identify the necessary components in the formulation of collection development policies.

Design/methodology/approach

The paper is based on both research about collection development policies and data compiled as a result of a survey of 16 centers of higher and technical education in Cuba.

Findings

Although the directors of university libraries and managers of collection development were aware of the process of collection development, few have collection development policies, and few have carried out user studies.

Originality/value

A model for a collection development policy for the system of university libraries is proposed.
