Module 2 Selection Policy
 Started this post  in April.
 I have become very aware that having and maintaining a Collection Policy is important and up until now I haven't ever sighted one at any of the schools in which I have worked in a Teacher Librarian capacity. I am not aware that the Library at my current school even possesses one.  As I have taken over the TL role I guess it is my responsibility now. Therefore this subject falls just at the right time for me.

I am nearing the end of writing my collection policy now.. My school did not have one and the Principal didn't appear concerned or feel that one was particularly necessary. I informed him he would be getting one anyway. Perhaps once he has read the policy  he will have more of an understanding as I myself have now. I can see having one helps clarify the direction you want the library collection to be heading in. I am far more aware of the strengths and weaknesses of the collection and how I can better cater for the needs of the users and not just boost the numbers in the collection and  improve its appearance.
