  Collection Development and Materials Selection Policy

Youth Services Software

This collection includes programs for the Youth Services Department's three Macintosh computers. The programs cover such educational areas as reading skills, math, geography, history, problem solving, matching of shapes and sizes, science and computer skills.

Influencing Factors

    Software is selected from software available for the Macintosh computer. The collection is intended for library use only and should meet the recreational and educational needs of children, preschool through grade six.

Selection Plan

    Publishers' catalogs, patron requests, School Library Journal and other lists are used to aid in selection. Nintendo-type games are not purchased.

Retention & Weeding

    When software is damaged, a replacement is ordered at a reduced rate as per agreement with software companies. If the item is no longer available, the item is removed from the computer.

Development Plan

    New programs for children are purchased and made accessible on the three Macintoshes periodically in response to new products and popular demand.
