Collection Development & Management Policy

Anglia Ruskin University's Library Service supports our University's strategic objectives of creating a leading learning and innovation ecosystem that delivers and strengthens the underpinning operations of the University, in ensuring that students and staff have seamless and timely access to a wide range of library services, excellent learning support and high-quality information resources. The Collection Development Policy underpins the development of the collection of information resources and the provision of access to content accordingly, within SLS planning priorities.

Our collection supports learning, teaching and research.

The information resources are selected in partnership with academic staff. We ensure that resources are relevant, support the curriculum or priority research areas and represent excellent value for money. We are committed to a continuous review of our resources accordingly.

We review and update this policy annually, in line with corporate objectives and timescales, to ensure that it continues to meet the needs of our university.
