> Hello,
>
> I am in the midst of writing the rough draft of my library’s very 
> first Collection Development Policy. As I look at examples of other 
> Academic Libraries’ budget allocation and funding statements, I notice 
> that the focus seems to be on print materials. I’m wondering if it is 
> appropriate for me to include our Online Databases as part of the 
> budget allocation. We are a small library whose collection has greatly 
> benefitted from JSTOR, Alexander Street Press, EBSCOhost, etc.
>
> Should I include our database allocations in this statement?
>
> Thank you for your help!
