Collection Development Framework

The Library has developed a collection development framework whose objective is to articulate the broad principles which ensure that Library information resources are acquired in line with the University's strategic teaching and research directions. Collection building activities ensure that La Trobe students and staff have access to information resources appropriate to their learning, teaching and/or research needs through both physical collections and online access. These collections are complemented by intercampus loans, storage retrievals, document delivery and reciprocal arrangements with other libraries.
