The purpose of this study is to propose established factors and a model of collection development policies for the libraries of theological universities in Korea. To achieve purpose of the study, we analyzed of elements and details of collection development policies at libraries of theological universities in overseas. The study then conducted a survey to understand the current status of collection development policies at libraries of theological universities in Korea. Based on the above results, reflecting both the external and the internal factors, the investigator presented a model of collection development policies by identifying seven elements that should be included when developing the policy: prefaces, collection selection, collection gathering, budget, collection maintenance, mutual cooperation and intellectual freedom, and revision of collection development policies.

This paper reviews digital collection development policies of academic libraries in America which attempted to digitize their collections in order to preserve their analog collections and to provide easy access to their digital collections. Such factors as selecting materials for digitization, sustainable size of digital collection, bibliographic control and collection management, coordinated digital collection project are discussed in order to be fully integrated into traditional collection development policies of academic libraries.

All public libraries are collection-based knowledge and cultural service institutions. To this end, a collection development policy is an essential and a strategic menu that every library should establish first. Regional central libraries should establish and apply optimal collection development policies to conduct the legal duties as knowledge and information centers and cooperative preservation facilities of the cities and provinces. Thus, this study analyzed and compared in detail the collection development guidelines (draft) and regulations of regional central libraries in Korea and the collection development policies of metropolitan public libraries abroad. Results showed that the policies of domestic regional central libraries were simply practical guidelines while those in most developed countries were substantial in format and content. All regional central library systems should establish and document collection development policies based on the importance of collection development, future-oriented thinking, and strategic decision. The study also suggested the basic principles and the format for this purpose.

In Korea, more than half of medical libraries are small.sized hospital libraries operated under the single.librarian system, and it is keenly required to establish collection management policies for exchanging resources with other libraries and maintaining consistency. however, it is rare to set up their collection management policies on the web among the domestic medical libraries. Thus, this study purposed to survey cases of collection management policies in domestic and foreign medical libraries and to provide basic information and ideas for Korean medical libraries that are preparing collection management policies. As long as core requirements are satisfied, collection management policies do not have a way. Thus, this case study is expected to provide useful ideas to medical libraries developing their collection management policies. For this purpose, we selected 12 survey items based on previous studies, and investigated one domestic and five foreign medical libraries, and analyzed collected data. Based on the results of analyzing the cases, we suggested 12 guidelines.

For this article, we conducted frequency analysis, topic modeling, and network analysis on eleven texts related to collection development policy found in the National Library of Korea. We deduced the main keywords related to collection development policies and analyzed the relationship between them. We subsequently conducted a pie coefficient analysis to identify the characteristics of collection development policies of university libraries and public libraries by category. The results showed that keywords such as "material," "library," "collection development," "user," and "collection" were the main keywords in frequency analysis and network centrality. Meanwhile, the pie coefficient analysis revealed that keywords such as "university," "construction," "student," "target," and "cost" were prevalent in university libraries, indicating that the academic needs of users and the discussion of digital resources were primary issues, while keywords related to the information needs of various user groups-including "adults," "survey," "feature," and "religion" -appeared in public libraries.

The purpose of this study is to suggest the components of manuscript collection development policy for Korean literary museums through literature review and the comparative analysis of the components of manuscript collection development policies of internal and external literary museums. As the examples of internal literary museums, the private rules of material selection of World Women's Literature Center and collection development policy of National Library of Korea have been studied. As the examples of external literary museums, 14 original collection development policies from British and American literary museums have been analyzed. According to the study results, the 11 basic elements and 14 selective elements were proposed for the manuscript collection development policy of Korean literary museums.

The social identities and role models of all public libraries originate from the historical and systematic development of analog collections and the high-quality digital contents. Therefore, collection development in public libraries should be treated the most important professional task. Based on these prerequisites, this paper analyzed the classical agendas of analog collection development and paradoxes of digital odyssey, and suggested the future policies and strategies of public library collection development in Korea.

The conspectus, based on a set number of subject descriptors derived essentially from LC subject classifications, provides a consistent framework within which libraries could report subject intensity. While library collection development has been benefitted by using this conspectus, its effectiveness in this digital era is under controversy. The purpose of this study is to survey the concepts and the various types of conspectus in library collection development and to test the applicability of a revised conspectus model to electronic resource management in libraries. For this, the focus was especially put on investigating the characteristics of electronic resources as considered the collection depth usually identified in collection development policies. Previous research has been also surveyed to consolidate their outcomes in order to design a matrix model of conspectus, which put the characteristics, persistence, and collection level in consideration in oder for the design of the conspectus model.
