Library and Archives Collection Development Policy

Résumé du livre

This policy serves 6 functions: to describe the Library and Archives of the National Gallery of Canada, the satellite libraries in the department of Prints and Drawings and the Restoration and Conservation laboratory, and the affiliate library of the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography; to summarize the scope and nature of existing Library collections; to outline the Library's collection development objectives and priorities within a long-range, systematic plan; to identify areas of collection strength and weakness, and provide for their development within the broader context of balanced, coherent collections overall; to facilitate coordination of Library collection development efforts within the Gallery; to provide the basis for cooperation with other institutions.
