Create+policy+and+procedures+documents

Woolls (2008) suggests that there are several steps involved in developing library policy statements, including:
 * 1) Research
 * 2) First draft
 * 3) Advisory committee consideration
 * 4) Final draft
 * 5) Advisory committee review of revisions
 * 6) Administrative approval

This MHLS website, [|Sample Public Library Policies and Policy Development Help], provides a variety of ideas and resources, including exemplars, to assist in writing policy and procedures documents.

The Federal Depository Library Program differentiates between the terms policies and procedures, and provides some useful advice on this website, [|Developing and Writing Library Policies and Procedures.]

The International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA) provides this [|website] dealing specifically with collection development policy.
