Collection Development Policy Task Forces
Deselection Task Force
Charge:
Create a set of criteria for use in identifying physical documents that can be withdrawn from the collection. Documents considered for withdrawal may currently be in the ARC or in the open stacks. Criteria should include usage data, but may also include such factors as whether content is duplicated online (particular with regard to government documents), content has been superseded, formats are obsolete, the University of Utah’s curricular focuses have changed, and any other factors that the Task Force deems relevant. Propose a timeline for completion of such a project. Submit the resulting document to the Dean of the Library for review and discussion by EC, MAC, and All Staff.

Selection Task Force
Charge:
Create a collection development (CD) policy that outlines the principles and processes that inform and shape the Marriott Library’s strategies for building and maintaining collections in all formats. Incorporate existing CD documents that outline current policies, suggesting changes where the Task Force feels appropriate. Include discussion of such topics as the role of Marriott Library collections in supporting curriculum and research needs; general principles and processes regarding processing and care of physical documents; the Library’s orientations and preferences regarding formats and acquisition modalities; role of Library liaisons to academic departments; and any other topics that you deem relevant. Submit the resulting document to the Dean of the Library for review and discussion by EC, MAC, and All Staff.
