Collections Priorities
(2018)
Abstract
In 2018, our lengthy Collections Policy was replaced by more succinct and agile Collections Priorities document.
The UMass Amherst Libraries create, select, and ingest materials of scholarly and cultural value into its collections to support the teaching, learning, and research mission of the University. The Libraries Collections Strategies Coalition sets strategic directions, builds frameworks for collection priorities, identifies and addresses key collections issues, and provides an ongoing review of collections investment opportunities.
Focus Areas include:
Curriculum & Research Support
Distinctive Open Collections
Richly Integrated Collections
Our priorities support the Libraries and University Strategic Plans, and incorporate the Libraries Core Values of Collaborations & Partnerships, Diversity & Inclusion, Innovation & Creativity, Openness and Transparency, and Sustainability & Stewardship.
