The procedure linked below has been created to guide development of the collection and access to resources at the Jane Carey Memorial Library at Dawson Community College. It gives guidelines to the library staff and Library Committee in managing the collection and serves as a means to inform others about the principles used in developing and maintaining the library’s resources. Policies such as this one are not static, but change with institutional changes such as expansion or downsizing, budget concerns, changes in faculty, and technological enhancements.
