How does the library I work in acquire the resources? This is the procedure at this present time, as there has not been a TL for a few years.

Scholastic Book Club comes out – TL/AP/Teacher puts in request for certain books – AP decides which books are being ordered – Books arrive – TL catalogues and covers – Resources are available.

There is no policy or acquisition process. So there are definitely changes I would like to make.

My changes would be:

• Develop a library policy
• Evaluate current collection
• Weed current collection
• Collaborate with students and teachers regarding resources
• Develop a budget
• Deliver the budget
• Acquire the resources through various suppliers
• Catalogue and cover books
• Resources are available

This is obviously a ongoing process, with adjustments made along the way.
