Library collection development is the process of meeting the information needs of the people (a service population) in a timely and economical manner using information resources locally held, as well as from other organizations. According to the The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), acquisition and collection development focuses on methodological and topical themes pertaining to acquisition of print and other analogue library materials (by purchase, exchange, gift, legal deposit), and the licensing and purchase of electronic information resources.〔The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions.〕 == Collection development policy == The development and implementation of a collection development policy is a best practices for libraries and archives, and addresses issues such as: *material selection and acquisition *replacement of worn or lost materials *removal (weeding) of materials no longer needed in the collection *planning for new collections or collection areas *institutional mission *cooperative decision-making with other libraries or within library consortia Weeding is an important but difficult aspect of collection development in a library. A librarian may withdraw materials based on the condition, age, relevancy, or lack of space for an item. A professional may decide to replace such items or leave the absence in the collection. The significant act is not without opposition. Historically, both patrons and other librarians criticize weeding books. Some believe libraries should keep all materials in circulation no matter the condition or need for room in the facility for newer material.〔Johnson, P. (2013). Is Weeding an Unnatural Act?
