Subject: ACQNET: Collection development strategy

[Editor's Note:  The writer has been directed to COLLDV-L_at_usc.edu,
a discussion list for collection development issues.]

I recently started work in a  non-profit organization that needs
help restructuring its small library.  Almost all of the collection
needs to be organized and managed in a way that will make this
library user-friendly and sustainable.

At the moment, I am making my first forays into the collection,
getting familiar with the material and getting ideas on how to
manage it.

I'm trying to find a basic, helpful (and uncomplicated) collection
development outline to help me assess the collection and get a
better sense of what steps I need to take.

I appreciate your advice on this topic.

Thanks,
