[Genealib] collection development: genealogy

[Janice Schultz]

Actually, those guidelines were recently updated.  I thought they had been posted on the RUSA webpage, but I guess they aren't.  If anyone would like a copy of the updated guidelines, please contact me off the list and I will email the document to you.

hi---
 
perhaps these ALA guidelines for genealogical collection development can help:

Hello,
 
I'm writing from a medium-sized library in South Texas. Currently we're taking the preliminary steps toward formulating a collection development policy for our genealogy collection.
 
Does anyone know of a person/librarian or even a book I could consult to obtain examples of policies that address genealogy material? 
 
Thank you in advance for your help.
 
Regards,
 
Cesar Garza
