- Abstract
- Presents methods for developing systematic identification, evaluation and selection of Internet resources. The principles and practices of selection, when adapted coherently and systematically to networked information, can amply serve to integrate this emerging electronic milieu into collection development strategies. Identifies key collection policy issues and includes an excerpt from a collection policy statement. Presents a working taxonomy of Internet accessible resources, developed as a tool to aid in adapting selection practices to Internet resources. Also outlines methods of incorporating Internet selection into the day to day activity of academic library collection development, including training, specifications for a selector's workstation, selection strategy, and the need to facilityte communication among selectors. This work is presented as an example of the kind of applied research the authors believe is needed to complement and extend the largely theoretical approach to the selection of electronic resources that characterizes the literature of collection development
