The assumption is there are many academic libraries of Indonesia especially under Minister of Religion Affairs (MORA) which hardly meet a demand of their users’ needs because their collection management or collection development policies do not prepare well. Actually to create a better collection, an academic library has to plan its collection well. This research has done with a purpose of inspecting a collection development policy of an academic library in Indonesia and its implementation. The collection development policy of main library of State Islamic University Syarif Hidayatullah at Jakarta in 2008 is the object of this research. This research has done by a descriptive qualitative approach that inspects deeply by means of any deep interview, observation, and document analysis. Having examined the formulation of its collection development policy we know the context of policy’s formulation, some actors who formulate, the roles of the head of the library, the attitude of the university and some values that influence. Having examined its implementation we know that the aims of the policy have achieved or not.

Collection is one of the requirements for the formation of a library in addition to library staff, facilities and infrastructure, a source of funding. Library collections are tailored to the needs of visitors, library types, and agency policies. The university library must have an adequate collection of both the number of titles and the number of copies. The collection is sufficient to support the implementation of education, research, and community service. In order for the development of a focused collection, a collection development policy is needed. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach. This approach is used to describe the collection development that has been carried out by the library of UIN Raden Fatah Palembang along with the obstacles faced, as well as to collect data to make a written collection development policy. Data collection was carried out through observation, interviews and documentation. The findings in this study are that so far the UPT Library of UIN Raden Fatah has only carried out collection development activities by practice, but there is no collection development policy that will be used as a guide in carrying out collection development activities. This is so that the implementation of collection development activities is not well directed, because there are no guidelines in carrying out collection development activities.

Japanese Animation

Purpose Too often, academic library selectors of DVDs purchase Japanese animation (anime) for their popularity without any further concern of their important contributions to the combined wealth of researches of an academic library. The purpose of this paper is to offer considerations for an academic selector to ponder before adding this particular type of animation. These considerations do not necessary pertain to the collection development considerations for selectors at public libraries. Design/methodology/approach This paper will discuss the major problems of actively adding anime to an academic library, the present areas of concern, and will offer warnings and suggestions based on a conceptual framework of anime having true academic value. Findings Anime cannot be chosen independently as if it has any apparently intrinsic value sui generis. Anime must be added concomitantly according to the collection development policies with other resources, especially DVDs, to create a full, rich and useful collection to scholars. Originality/value Academic studies concerning anime and collection development for academic libraries are usually comprised of only long lists of suggested anime, with no further discussions about its implications to the general worth of an academic library. This paper offers no such lists. Instead, it offers considerations selectors must take into account before investing time and money adding anime to an academic library collection.

Purpose The University of Kansas (KU) libraries has faced increased requests for streaming video in the past five years. While we have provided access to many databases of films, feature films remained a problem. To write a collection development policy, the library undertook three investigations to ensure the outcome reflected the needs of the university. Design/methodology/approach Film titles included in Swank 300 and Criterion-on-Demand were checked against the CanIStream. it? website to check for availability through streaming, rental or purchase services. Student library users were surveyed to determine if they had streaming subscriptions and, if so, which ones. KU librarians also examined academic library collection development polices to understand how others have addressed this issue. Findings More than half of the feature films provided by the two vendors are available through subscriptions, renting or purchasing methods. A majority of students subscribe to one or more of these services. Many academic libraries are deciding not to provide streaming feature films. Originality/value There are no previous studies on students’ subscriptions to streaming services linked to availability of feature films offered from commercial vendors to libraries.

<p>The rise of academic library involvement in research data management has presented numerous challenges for academic libraries. While libraries and archives have always had collection development policies that defined what they would or would not collect, policies for selecting research data for preservation are in their infancy. This study surveyed and interviewed academic researchers. From this research an initial list of eight types of data were identified as research data that should not be preserved and made public by academic libraries and archives. These include research data that are sensitive or confidential, proprietary, easily replicable, do not have good metadata, are test, pilot or intermediate data, are bad or junk data, data that cannot be used by others for a variety of reasons, and older data that are not used and have no obvious cultural or historical value. Conclusions drawn from the study will help librarians and archivists make informed decisions about which types of research data are worth keeping.</p>

Collection development is a core activity that has the task of holding and expanding collections in terms of collections in a library. The purpose of developing a collection is to expand and obtain a up-to-date collection. The University of Gajah Putih Takengon  Aceh Tengah Library is a private university library that functions as an information institution to support the implementation of the Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi. In supporting the implementation of the Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi and fulfilling the information needs of its users, libraries need to develop collections and formulate collection development policies. This paper examines the stages of the collection development process at the Gajah Putih Takengon University Library  Aceh Tengah regency and the collection development policy. This research uses qualitative methods with a descriptive approach. Data collection obtained through observation, interviews and literature study. The results showed that the stages of the collection development process at the Gajah Putih Takengon University Library Aceh Tengah regency were carried out simply without using a written collection development policy. In addition, the minimum number of librarians and budget is a logical factor for libraries in carrying out collection development activities.

This study aims to determine the extent of the implementation of the collection development policies in the STIKES Muhammadiyah Gombong Library and the obstacle it faces. The existence of a collection in library is a crucial factor and can be used to determine the level of library utilization whether the library is being used properly or not by users. In order for the collection to be efficient and can be used optimally, library need to plan to develop collections, namely by formulating collection development policies and implementing them in library management. The research method used in this research is descriptive qualitative data collection techniques through interviews and literatur study. The results showed that the collection development policy that had been carried out in the STIKES Muhammadiyah Gombong Library was by selecting, acquiring, evaluating, and weeding the collections. This type of collection consists of print and non-print. Meanwhile, collections are procured through purchases, subscriptions, and gifts/donations/grants. The obstacles faced are that suggestions from users have not been able to meet the needs of planned collection, there is no clear standard regarding the comparison of the number of collections in terms of form and language, there are no rules if in the future there is an urgent need in collection development.

Achievable Goal

This paper identifies and reviews some of the currently relevant components of collection development which contribute to the need for having a written collection development policy (CDP) in place. The requisite elements for a pertinent and usable CDP are identified, keeping in mind the need to customize these policies to each library’s unique needs. A literature review is presented to demonstrate the long-standing purposes of collection development policies (CDPs), quantitative studies of existing CDPs, and some of the inherent drawbacks in the creation and application of these policies. The author presents a case study which demonstrates the processes undertaken to create a CDP for a medium-sized academic library. This includes more current and relevant considerations for a modern day CDP. The paper also includes the best practices identified throughout the policy creation process and which has the potential to be applied to other similarly situated libraries.
