| The Collection Development Council (CDC) is charged with identifying, considering, analyzing, and reporting issues pertinent to the growth and management of the Yale Library collections. Working under the direction of the Associate University Librarian, it may advise her and through her the University Librarian on matters of policy concerning collection development and related issues such as preservation and retrospective conversion. CDC is a representative body. Each member is expected to communicate appropriately the deliberations and conclusions of the Council and to solicit advice and comment from other selectors. The Council may also prepare the agenda for periodic gatherings of all selectors at Yale. Librarians who are selectors in Yale libraries not reporting to the University Librarian may be asked to participate in and contribute to the Council's work. The CDC website includes minutes, published recommendations, member lists, and collection development aids. It also includes documents, agendas, and CDC-L list archives for more limited use by members of the Collection Development Council and its subcommittees. Some links, therefore, are password protected. Comments and suggestions are welcomed by the Council.
