The collection development policy outlines the mission and responsibilities of the library in supporting the college's educational programs through its collection. It describes how the collection development librarian considers the needs of the institution, budget, faculty, and students in acquiring print and electronic resources. The policy provides criteria for selecting materials that support the curriculum, are current, credible, and in a variety of formats while maintaining a balanced collection representing cultural diversity. It also describes weeding outdated materials and using tools and faculty recommendations to develop the collection.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

1. Collection Development Policy
Library Programs and Services
Draft 3/2010
Mission
The mission of the AVC Library is to provide information services and instruction to
support the mission of the college in meeting educational, cultural, lifelong learning and
vocational programs.
Responsibilities
A library’s collection, in many respects, is a reflection of an institution’s academic goals
and priorities. It seeks to support the existing curriculum and instructional programs,
while serving as a catalyst for life-long learning and research.
It is incumbent upon the collection development librarian(s), whether individual or
committee, to then consider wisely, weighing the needs of the institution, the library, the
faculty, and the students. The librarian(s) must also be mindful of the existing policies
and current academic year budget which may determine which print and electronic
resources to acquire or maintain.
The collection should sustain a balance of general and academic titles and formats that
allow competent coverage, access to a variety of learning and educational levels,
balanced viewpoints, support of the current curriculum, and include representation of the
cultural demographics of the college and community.
Faculty, student, and other contributions by those in the college community should also
be considered. Collection development librarians will foster or continue to develop
partnerships with the corresponding faculty of each academic and vocational discipline
to ensure that the collection will support current and future curriculum needs, reflect the
most relevant advances in that field, and promote library resources.
The library is committed to the principles of intellectual freedom and growth as
articulated in the American Library Association’s Bill of Rights
(http://www.ala.org/ala/aboutala/offices/oif/statementspols/statementsif/librarybillrights.cfm). The collection
development librarian(s) will select materials that reflect the racial, ethnic, and linguistic
diversity of the college community. No materials should be excluded from the collection
on the basis of political, religious, or moral viewpoint or opinion. Objections to any
materials in the collection should be made in writing to the Dean.
1
2. Selection Criteria
The following is the criteria used for collection development consideration:
1. Scope and Coverage
The print, electronic, and multi-media materials should support the current
instructional curriculum and provide adequate resources for academic and
personal research for the faculty and students. The collection should maintain a
balance of general and academic titles that allow competent coverage, access to
a variety of learning and educational levels, balanced viewpoints, and include
representation of the cultural demographics of the college community. Priority for
selection is given to those materials that directly support the course work of
students in the areas of degrees. Additionally, faculty members of the various
disciplines should be invited to be part of the collection’s selection and
evaluation.
2. Currency of Resource
The need to stay current is an important aspect of the collection ability to support
the college’s curriculum. Timeliness represents an awareness of the need to
continually be evaluating the collection to ensure its academic integrity.
Replacement of older materials, now out of date or irrelevant, is also a necessary
consideration.
3. Authority or Credibility
Selected materials, designated for curriculum support and academic research,
should be evaluated on their substantive merit. Source, author, publishers,
content, and peer and scholarly reviews are considered. The reputation and
expertise of the author(s) and publishers are important to the credibility of the
collection.
4. Format
While print materials constitute the bulk of the collection, other formats such as
multimedia resources (DVD, VHS, streaming videos, e.g.) and e-Books provide
viable options and compliments to the existing print collection as costs, access,
and even physical space within the library becomes a question and as dictated
by technological development and demand.
5. De-selection or Weeding
As materials and resources become outdated they are removed or re-classified
to other parts of the collection, e.g. a reference item, which has been replaced
due to currency, may be relocated to the main/browsing collection. Weeding is an
integral task of collection development and should be conducted on a regular
basis. Items may be removed from the collection if they:
• contain inaccurate or obsolete information,
• are part of incomplete sets or discontinued series,
• are infrequently used or circulated,
• are no longer appropriate due to changes in the collection or
collection development policy,
• do not meet the purpose of the library’s objective or no longer support
current curriculum,
2
3. • are in poor physical condition, and
• are duplicate copies of seldom-used titles, and have been replaced by
subsequent editions or newer formats.
6. Electronic Resources and Periodical Databases
Databases that fall within the scope of the collection and meet the specific
collection guidelines should be included in the collection when possible.
Databases should
a. Comprise content that meets the scope of the AVC
collection and its purpose.
b. Require minimal training of staff and students.
c. Contain current information.
d. Provide use statistics.
e. License for remote access by multiple users.
Selection Sources
The collection development librarians should seek critical reviews and evaluations from
a variety of sources. These resources should provide reputable and unbiased reviews of
current materials under consideration for inclusion in the collection. As stated previously,
collection development librarians should work in earnest to foster or continue to develop
partnerships with the corresponding faculty of each academic and vocational discipline
to ensure that the collection will support current and future curriculum needs and reflects
the most relevant advances in that field.
Collection Development Tools
The following tools have been utilized, but not limited to, in the collection
development process including selection, evaluation, updating, weeding, and
