Abstract
This article summarizes the development and execution of a system for collection development and materials control in an underfunded and understaffed college library. The Simmons College Library staff devised a plan for book budget allocations, evaluated its collection, and formulated a three-part collection development policy with working procedures. Its success requires a strong commitment from the library administration and draws on the collective abilities and participation of an entire library staff. It results in the more judicious expenditure of funds, enhanced communication with faculty, and a structure for long-term collection growth.
