“Book selection policy and program me” The policy is essential in the selection process for
guiding and determining future decisions regarding the selection of library materials .book selection policy establishes principles and limits of selection and provides criteria that should be used as a guide in selection.
in public library following rules are followed selecting the books:-
Book selection should include all the subjects that apply to community condition and that reflect community Interest.
Continue…… Make sure your collection of local history is as
extensive and as useful as possible. Avoid selection of books for which no demand
is evident and books that have definitely outlived their usefulness.
Maintains impartiality in selection. Make no special on controversial subjects.
Provide as far as possible books that will meet the needs of specialist or other whose work will benefit the community.
Maintain so far as possible promptness and regularity in supplying new books.
“School libraries following rules are followed” provide material that will enrich and
support curriculum .Provide material that will stimulate growth
in factual knowledge ,literary appreciation aesthetic values and ethical studies .

curricular demands of the college.It should acquire materials like periodicals,
encyclopedias, ect necessary for inspiring teaching .

Need of book selection:-The resources in the library are limited:-Every library has its limited resources in the
limited resources only the library has to provide for maximum readers useful quality material.
All books cannot be useful :-Many books are published everyday in the
world, and every published book cannot be useful for every reader. Hence every selects the books ,according to their aim and necessities.
Principles of selection of document
Selection of document is both as art and a science. The following principles of selection are most important and should be given weight. They are as follows:-
Dewey’s principles:-The famous library science scholar gave a principle for
selection of document for the libraries, which states the best reading for the largest number at least cost According to this principle a library should select within the financial resources available, the best document s which may satisfy the information needs of maximum number of users.

Drury’s principle:-It was enunciated by Drury in 1930.it states, to provide the right
book to right reader at the right time .in this principle reader is the central theme .A document is right or otherwise is to be provide when the user needs it for use. The selector should know the users and their requirement .he should select only that material which caters to the informational, educational and recreational needs of the users.
McColvin’s principle:-This principle was advanced in 1925 by L.R.McColvin. He states
that –books in themselves are nothing. they have no meaning until they are made serviceable by demand. hence the book selection, by this principle , is directly related to demand, the greater is the resultant and possible service.
Continue…… the term supply refers to the availability of
reading material in all its varieties. Demand on the other hand , means expressed and unexpressed informational needs of the users. This principle advocates the selection of only those documents which are demanded by the users for their informational needs.
Ranganathan’s principle :- the first 3 laws of library science enunciated by
Ranganathan are most helpful in formulating the principle s of selection of the document for libraries.
1. First law:-documents are for the use,2. Second law:-ever reader his/her document.3. Third law:-every documents its reader.
AdvantagesSpace saving.Easy access.Easy to handle.Easy to transmit.Time saving.Low cast.Less manpower involved.
Disadvantages:-Installation process complex and costly.Lack of infrastructure.Insufficient budget.Shortage of expertise.Durability only up to certain year.
Collections are developed along collection profiles defined by user requirements.
The limits to collection building are financial constraints, available space, resources for processing
Conclusion :-
Book selection is the first task of librarianship it precedes all other process catalogue, classification. Or administration and it is the most important. BOOK SELECTION TOOLS : “Book selection policy and program me” Principles of selection of document is very important for book selection

Collection Development for Print- Problems
INTRODUCTION Collection development is a term that is
used by the library community to refer to "the selection and acquisition of material for an expanding collection and decisions on the material to be included in that collection“.
Typically, collection development decisions apply at different stages of an institution's workflow, including the selection, acquisition, processing, housing, weeding, retention, preservation, relegation and discarding of library materials.
Collection development is a process of building up and improving the collection in the library and it is a very important function of a library.
Collection development is now viewed as being a part of the wider activity of collection management, which includes "collection policy development, materials budget allocation, selection, collection analysis, collection use and user studies, training and organisation of collection development staff, preservation, and cooperative collection development“.

The print format is more convenient to use. Popularity of the use of the title in a print format. The title contains many illustrations such as tables, charts, graphs, statistics, images etc, which are better presented and copied in print, rather than electronic or other format.

This presentation attempts to highlight the major problems of collection development such as information sources from the point of view of a university librarian.
Collection developments involve understanding the nature of requirements of users and anticipating their demands.
Collection development is not just equivalent to acquisition of documents but much more than that. Acquisition of documents consists of selection and procurement of documents. Document selection is a highly professional work.
Acquisition work involves three sets of people. (i) Library management and users. (ii) Librarian and library staff (iii) Publishers and suppliers. Hence acquisition problems can be looked from three different ways.
Document Acquisition Problems1. Document selection Problems.2. Lack of Man power resources.3. Financial restrictions.4. Lack of support from teaching staff.5. Lack of proper weeding out policy.6. Background or Document Acquisition Transaction.7. Need of Subject Background.8. Multiplicity of Vendors.9. Document Procurement Problems.10. Need for Avoiding Duplication.11. Choice of Vendors and Problem of Local Vs Foreign
Suppliers.12. Problems Relating to Terms of Payment.13. Price Verification.14. Vendor Controlled Order Plans.15. Problems of subscription to journals.16. Other Problems of Documents Acquisition.
Conclusion Collection development deals with re-interpretation of traditional library mission and practices for the digital library environment. Information professionals have to actively develop, maintain and manage wide range of resources. Collection development should aim at balancing among buying,borrowing and available space. There are a number of problems in collection development. Many are common and few are unique to library concerned.
