Policy details
The City of Vincent Library and Local History Centre provides equitable opportunities for literacy, learning, social connection and cultural experiences.
This is supported through comprehensive, diverse and inclusive collections of print, non-print and digital materials that are acquired to meet the current and future community’s needs and expectations.
This policy will act as a framework for the selection, acquisition, evaluation and deaccession of materials for the library and local history centre collections.
The substantive changes to the amended policy are:
- Clarification of collection management responsibilities and guiding principles
- Information on collection funding allocations
- A more clearly defined purpose for collection management
