Collection Policy for WOMEN'S AND GENDER STUDIES

General Purpose

The Women’s & Gender Studies Collection Development Policy Statement and its selection criteria are intended to articulate guidelines needed to build and maintain a relevant interdisciplinary collection of consistent quality and usefulness, to clarify responsibility for building and maintaining the collection, set parameters for the scope of the collection, and to provide rationales for selection and retention decisions. This document is used by the library's Women’s & Gender Studies subject librarian as a planning and working tool to ensure consistent and balanced growth and maintenance of the library's women's and gender studies collection, and to aid in communicating these guidelines to the students, faculty, and staff of the Iowa State University community. Materials collected primarily support students taking Women’s & Gender Studies (WGS) courses to meet the university’s diversity requirement, those minoring and majoring in WGS, as well faculty, staff, students, and community members with interests in the subject area.
