Collec
tion development for the general collections of Tulane University Libraries is a program described through the libraries' Collection Development Manual and its subject area collections policies. The manual is updated periodically by the Vice Dean of Libraries, reflecting changes made in the divisions and departments represented in TUL's Research & Resources Strategies group. The policies are statements about how materials are collected for each discipline in a framework designed to reflect the university's academic department and cross-departmental academic program structure. They are regularly updated by liaison librarians assigned to each academic department.
