Concepts from curriculum theory, children's and adolescent literature, educational technology, and library science are brought together, reflecting the idea that collection program activities interact in a cyclical pattern. It is proposed that the principles of collection development, selection, resource sharing, and acquisition be addressed as parts of a whole in a school's policy. Part 1 examines the media collection in relation to its educational setting; discusses general principles, policies, and procedures of collection development; and covers issues that affect all collections and the responsibility of resolving these issues according to the goals and needs of a particular collection. Part 2 focuses on the practical considerations of materials selection including procedures; selection criteria; and meeting curricular and instructional, subject and program, and individual needs. Part 3 describes the operations involved in developing and managing a collection, and discusses the administrative concerns of acquiring materials; accessing information; maintaining the collection; evaluating the collection; and creating, shifting, and closing collections. Appendix A identifies agencies and associations of use to media specialists. Appendix B is a list of bibliographic and selection sources, and Appendix C includes three statements on intellectual freedom. Information is presented in 34 figures and tables. (Contains 162 references.) (Author/AEF)
