We have purchased a limited number of datasets here at Tufts, primarily to 
support a GIS center which is not administratively part of the library. We 
are considering increasing our purchases of datasets and I'd like to write 
a collection development policy for their selection. Does anyone on the 
list have experience doing this, and does anyone have a policy that they 
would be willing to share?
