Policy No.: 8076 Board Approved: April 14, 2009 Revised:
Hagerstown Community College Library Development Policy
To support Hagerstown Community College’s academic programs and curricula and to promote students’ opportunities for academic success, it is the policy of Hagerstown Community College to provide, through the HCC Library, access within budgetary limitations to information in a wide variety of subject areas. This policy requires that information in print, non-print, and electronic formats be made available to students, faculty, and staff; be appropriate in terms of coverage and depth; be timely, factual and relevant; and when applicable, offer clear and contrasting viewpoints on controversial issues. Maintaining access to current information requires the selection and acquisition of new and current information sources and materials, as well as the identification and discarding of out-dated and inappropriate materials and information sources; therefore, the William M. Brish Library is required by this policy to conduct an annual culling process. Faculty participation in the development processes is expected. Annually the Library is required to prepare a summary report for the college community on its collection development activities.
