Collection development policies for the web

[Kevin Justie]

>My library is considering writing a collection development policy for the
>WWW (the idea is to have a document stating what we include in our
>web page and what we link to).


The Morton Grove Public Library's WWW site selection policy can be found at

http://www.webrary.org/colldev/adultmis.html#WWW


We have links to over 400 reference/information sites
(http://www.webrary.org/orrs/webrary.html), and felt that we needed a
policy for WWW sites just as we have policies for other types of materials
(all of which can be found at http://www.webrary.org/colldev/toc.html).

Hope this helps!
