The primary function of a written collection development policy is to provide guidance to staff when selecting and deselecting (printed and electronic) resources for the local collection. The document serves as a guideline for each stage of materials handling.
The policy statement, or body of the policy, identifies the actual guiding principles or what is to be done. The statements are designed to influence and determine decisions and actions within the scope of coverage. The statements should define actions that are prudent, expedient, or advantageous to the organization.
One of the main advantages of collection development policies is that they provide a clear and consistent framework for making decisions about the library collection. They can help librarians avoid duplication, bias, gaps, and outdated materials.

They are general overview, which is the introduction and general collection; detailed analysis of subject collections; and a miscellaneous section.
