Subject: Collection Development Policies for Digital Materials

We are looking at adding a policy statement regarding digital
products to our collection development manual.  In evaluating such
products, many of the same criteria used in evaluating print
materials can be applied, but there are some additional
considerations.  I am hoping that some of you have evaluation
criteria for digital products already.  If you could share those with
me, I would be deeply appreciative.  Please respond to me directly
at mike-bell_at_utc.edu.

Thank you
