Collection Development is responsible for allocating the library's acquisitions budget and making decisions regarding selection, retention, preservation, and deselection of library materials.

To manage and develop the physical and digital collections necessary for supporting teaching and research for the East Carolina University community; and
To lead the University in responding to changes in scholarly communication, including the promotion of The ScholarShip Institutional Repository.
