[Genealib] Genealogy Collection Development Policies?

[Beth Kielb]

I am beginning the process of writing a collection development policy
for our genealogy and local history library and would love to find some
examples of policies that are specific to these types of collections.
I've got the ALA Guidelines for Beginning Genealogical Collections and
Services, but it is dated 1991.  I was wondering if there is anything
more current out there?

 

If you have a collection development policy that you would be willing to
share, or if you know of a good resource for examples (on-line or
print), I would love to hear from you.  Please feel free to contact me
off-list.

  

Also, if anyone remembers if this topic has been discussed on the list
previously and remembers an approximate month and year, please let me
know.  I've gone through the list archives for the last 6 months or so,
but haven't seen anything yet.

 

Thanks in advance for any assistance or information that you can
provide!
