Overview

Every music collection has its own specific features in terms of flexibility, users, and selceting criteria, therefore a universal formula for writing collection development policies doesn't exist. This study aims to help librarians who are responsible for writing policies and refers not only to the proper process of planning a library's information resources, but also to other related activities, incorporated into or coordinated with the collection development policy: collection management activities and resource sharing programmes.
