dc.description.abstractThe research aimed to create a Collection Development Policy for Kabale University Library, intending to streamline their collection development process and address the challenge of insufficient information resources. Objectives included examining current procedures, identifying challenges, demonstrating the necessity for a policy, and crafting one for the library. The qualitative research involved 53 participants, with 36 selected staff and 33 users for data collection, using interviews and questionnaires. Document review supplemented the findings. Kabale University Library maintained a diverse collection of resources obtained through purchases, gifts, or donations, encompassing textbooks, manuals, periodicals, and digital materials, among others. Collection development involved the selection, acquisition, and assessment of materials in both print and digital forms. Challenges such as space constraints, budget limitations, and the absence of a formal policy were identified. The study concluded that Kabale University Library lacked an operational collection development policy, recommending the adoption of the proposed policy. Expansion of the library was also suggested to accommodate more resources and enhance user experience.
