Abstract

CMP is not a miraculous document that carries solutions to all kinds of collection related problems. But, it is far better to have one than not to have. It makes a complex and subjective process of CM less problematic by devising and documenting the philosophy behind a library’s collecting practice. It may serve as a detailed framework to execute the philosophy of a library. Thus, a written CMP has much more to offer to libraries in the digital and hybrid age-- an age which has mesmerized users with explicit and implicit perceptions regarding electronic resources.
