Policies and procedures

Policy making has long been acknowledged in professional literature as an essential aspect of library management especially as it related to accountability and compliance. More recently, the importance of policy making has been recognised in the Standards of Professional Excellence for Teacher Librarians. Below are some useful support resources to help school library develop effective and current library policies and procedures. These resources are provided to give you a starting point to develop policies and procedures relevant to your school's connect and mission.

Collection Development Policies and Procedures in School Libraries
Provides an extensive range of resources and examples for you to use.

​A Manual for Developing Policies and Procedures in Australian School Library Resource Centres
The Manual for Developing Policies and Procedures in Australian School Library Resource Centres sets out how to develop the policies and document the procedures essential for exemplary library management practices. The implementation of these policies and procedures will ensure that there is equitable access to resources for all users. A school library resource centre that is well managed is in the best possible position to offer the range of library programmes and services that are essential to the endeavours of the school community. 
There are nine sections with a glossary and reference list. Each section has two parts. The first part is the policy section and the second part is the procedures section. The nine sections are:
  • Staffing
  • Collection development
  • Budgeting
  • Ordering
  • Cataloguing
  • Processing
  • Circulation
