Robust collection development policies or guidelines can reflect your patrons' needs, describe acquisition philosophies, and inform collection reviews and withdrawals. However, what happens when your policies or procedures are outdated, ignored, or obscured? How can your library include multiple stakeholders in producing new policies or procedures that will positively benefit your collections and patrons? Join Robert Powers, the Research and Instruction Librarian at Kansas City, Kansas, Community College (KCKCC), for a session about how KCKCC is working to finalize new collection development procedures for fall 2025. This session will be of interest to acquisitions personnel, librarians, and library administrators.
