Abstract:
Guidelines on dispersal of collections in government agency libraries
The Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) recognises that government agency libraries frequently hold collections of long-term significance for Australian heritage and research. These guidelines are intended for all Commonwealth, state and territory government agencies, as a guide to what to do in situations where agency libraries plan to dispose of material. The guidelines provide for the orderly disposal of library collections when the parent organisation has decided not to retain them.
Library Collection Development Policy: template

This template has been designed for use by government and special libraries to develop their own Collection Development Policies.
