Area Studies Collection Development
From: "Presnell, Jenny L. Ms." <jenny.presnell_at_muohio.edu>

Hi all,

Do you do collection development for area studies? Does your library
have collection development policies for area studies, even if they
are included in a subject area? Miami University Area Studies
librarians need your help. We are assessing and revising our
collection development policies and would like to see examples of how
other librarians have addressed area studies in their collection
process.

If you would be willing to share your written policies for
area studies, please, email your collection development policy to
Jenny Presnell jenny.presnell_at_muohio.edu

Thanks

Jenny
