Introduction
The following list provides links to academic and research libraries collection development policies for Women's Studies available on the Web. Many types of libraries are represented here, from small liberal arts colleges to large research libraries, including libraries in the United States as well as Canada and other countries.
Libraries approach the articulation of collection development policies in different and instructive ways. The Collection Development and Bibliography Committee has identified components common across many of these policy statements. We have created a template/checklist for consideration by librarians seeking to develop or enhance collection policy statements for Women’s Studies.
Please note: The list was compiled in August 2004, and updated in February, 2008, through extensive, if not exhaustive, searching using Google. Suggestions for additions to this list are encouraged by the WSS Collection Development and Bibliography Committee; please send these to Sue Wortman at swortman@umich.edu.
