Selection Criteria (503)

I have just had a look at some selection criteria in different policies. They are many and varied. Each state has their own way of dealing with things and the NSW DET seems to be very general. Having had a look at my school's library policy and in particular at the moment, the selection criteria and I can see that it is woefully inadequate. A lot of work will need to be done in order to design a model collection development policy based on the needs of my school.

I can see that selection criteria need to reflect the school community and its needs as well as take into account both print material and digital resources. At this point I think that there needs to be core or general criteria that relates to all resources and then more specific criteria for more specific resources.
