The Madigan Library Collection Development Plan was originally developed by Pat Scott, Collection Development Librarian and Associate Professor, in May 2000, and is based on Lane Community College Library's Collection Development Policy.
Revisions:
This policy will be reviewed and revised annually, or as necessary, to reflect the rapidly changing environment of information.
The purpose of this plan is to provide guidance to Madigan Library librarians, faculty, administration, and staff for the development and management of collections that support the curriculum at Pennsylvania College of Technology. The plan defines the library's collections, guidelines regarding selection, acquisition, preferred formats, and weeding/deselection of resources.
Penn College serves over 4,200 undergraduate and graduate students in over 100 majors across the main campus and two satellite campuses.
