The collection development policy serves as a guide for building the collections that support the instructional and research needs of the University of Tennessee at Martin. Institutions must function within the limits of their budget, space, and available staff. No library can have every item or resource available. Collection policies allow libraries to set priorities. The Library strives to provide learning/information sources that appropriately support the institution’s teaching, research, and service missions. A review of the policy will be completed every three years.
