Collection Development

old libraryThe Collection Development staff consults on collection needs for library and classroom collections. Under extenuating circumstances, you may request a one-on-one training session (in lieu of class) for electronic ordering, Collection Mapping and Worksheets, and Budget Tracking. We can also provide for a library evaluation visit if necessary. We work closely with the DPS Curriculum Department on Literacy Programs.

Donated/Gift Book Guidelines
The definition of a gift book is one that you have had donated, purchased, etc. for your library that was not acquired through ERS Acquisitions OR there is no BIB record in Via. Gifts or donated items should meet the same selection criteria as purchased materials as far as need, quality, appropriateness, usability, etc. The professional staff shall decide on the best use for donated items.

Once a year, usually in the spring, you will receive an email notifying you when it is acceptable to send in your donated/gift books for processing. For one or two items OR if there is no BIB record, you may contact Bill Rejebian in Cataloging (720.423.8107) for assistance throughout the year. As new material is a priority and our storage space is limited, please do not send books before you are notified to via email.
