Library collection development principles have been changing due to intensive introduction of digital resources. The authors examine the processes of library and information development and acquisition of printed and digital resources at of RNPLS&T which adds new possibilities for user information services. The increasing role of digital resources is determined by the appropriate services advancement. The use of licensed full-text digital resources is also discussed. The role of mandatory copy as a powerful, reliable and free source of collection development with domestic printed documents is revealed. The collection is also growing due to the remote access to national digital resources, and among them Russian State Library’s Theses Library holds a particular place. The high rank and importance of the centralized/national subscription are emphasized: RNPLS&T provides access to the leading foreign information resources. The significance of open resources for users information support is demonstrated. The main task in the collection development strategy is seen as balancing various types of documents and providing the possibly complete information demanded by users.

Collection development in libraries is crucial to ensure that library resources meet user information needs. Librarians must adapt to advancements in information and communication technology in carrying out collection development activities. This study aims to identify research trends in library collection development in Asia through a narrative literature review, analyzing 12 relevant references from Google Scholar. The analysis focuses on library management and the evaluation of collection development policies. The findings reveal that collection development in Asian libraries varies based on user needs, culture, and the level of information technology. South Korea emphasizes collection digitization, Pakistan prioritizes academic needs, Indonesia faces budget constraints, India focuses on digital literacy, and East Asian countries integrate international networks. Collection development stages include user needs analysis, selection policy establishment, collection selection, material acquisition, weeding, and evaluation. Collection development policies emphasize providing relevant resources in digital and print formats, along with periodic evaluations to maintain quality. This study concludes that library collection development in Asia is a strategic effort to address the dynamics of information needs and enhance community literacy

The collection is the heart of the library. Everything revolves around the library’s resources, be they hard copy, non-print, vertical file, or digital. Without that collection, the library’s staff is unable to provide quality service, answer questions, and teach patrons how to perform legal research. Because basic collection development theory applies to all libraries, this chapter concentrates on the major differences between standard collection development theory and practice and the theories and practices specific to law librarianship. Furthermore, differences between law library specifics and public law library needs are highlighted. A discussion of the various formats, their advantages and disadvantages could entail a full-length monograph; therefore, this discussion concentrates on the basics and then only as format determination impacts the public law library’s collection development plan. Several excellent collection development titles are listed in the Additional Reading section at the end of this chapter for those interested in a collection development refresher course. Further discussion of digital resources, including format advantages/disadvantages, electronic licenses, package or bundle sales, digital resources, and contracts in general appears in chapter 8. Collection maintenance, weeding, and discard procedures are reviewed in the Technical Services chapter.

The status of collection development in public libraries depicts the poor condition in the following four aspects: books, periodicals, rare material and digital information resources. The library staff mostly used the traditional sources as a tool for collection development i.e. Suggestion box Catalogues, Bibliographies, Book sellers/ publishers lists, Reviews of books and Journals. The existing collection development policies were not comprehensive, did not cover necessary aspects concerning to collection development. The public libraries were facing many obstacles and challenges in proceeding collection development process i.e. shortage of staff, insufficient financial resources, lack of training opportunities for library staff to update their professional skills, non-provision of internet connection and digital equipment to use the latest information communication technology, lack of funds for libraries collection development, Indifferent and neglecting attitude of the higher authorities towards libraries were burning issues and challenges to maintain the international standards of collection development within the public libraries of Punjab, Pakistan.

There are many definitions about digital library, however, this paper used the definition taken from Digital Library Federation which stated that digital library as organizations that provide the resources, including the specialized staff, to select, structure, offer intellectual access to interpret, distribute, preserve the integrity of, and ensure the persistence over time of collections of digital works so that they are readily and economically available for use by defined community or set of communities (http://www.clir.org/diglib/about/strategic/htm). The elements that have been identified as common to those definitions are: I. A digital library is a managed collection of digital objects 2. The digital objects are created or collected according to principles of collection development. 3. The digital objects are made available in a cohesive manner, supported by services necessary to allow users to retrieve and exploit the resources just as they would any other library materials. 4. The digital objects are treated as long-term stable resources and appropriate processes are applied to them to ensure their quality and survivability (Deegan and Tanner 2002).

The collection and management of digital resources dominated collection development and management literature produced during 2004–8. Themes covered the changing nature of local collections, redefining collection management responsibilities and practices, cooperation and collaboration, and collection assessment and evaluation. The literature reflected the struggle to manage a vast array of resources while library budgets stagnated. While publishers continued to offer more bundles of electronic publications, librarians responded with strategies to collaborate and negotiate for feasible pricing structures. A culture of continuous assessment was a major topic. During this review period, access to and ownership of digital resources reemerged as a pervasive theme. The mood of the literature was generally optimistic in light of the considerable challenges libraries faced in managing their resources to accommodate the rapidly growing and ever-shifting digital landscape. While looking back on the established philosophy of traditional collections activities, authors moved decisively into the digital age and emerged with a positive vision of the future of library collections.

The US National Science Foundation has established a program to create a National Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology Education Digital Library (NSDL). One of the subsidiary NSDL libraries under development is the National Civil Engineering Educational Resources Library (NCERL). The first phase of NCERL is the creation and collection of digital resources in three areas of civil engineering—geotechnical (soil), rock, and water engineering (GROW). The concept of interactivities guides the design, development, and evaluation efforts of the GROW digital collection. This article describes the salient features of GROW, defines and discusses interactivities as an emerging, integral part of teaching and learning in civil engineering education. Interactivities take place at three distinct levels: the information resource, the collection, and the context. Very simply, the concept of interactivities can be defined as the emphasis on structured representations of interactive multimedia resources. Additionally, resources are designed with rich learning tasks and organized in pedagogical collections supplemented with contextual information. Preliminary evaluation of GROW-NCERL using interactivities is briefly described.

In the digital age, the literature structure and service mode of the university library are changing rapidly. The proportion of the digital literature in the library collection system of the universities is constantly increasing. Therefore, how to coordinate the order of the paper and digital resources has positive significance to the library scientific construction. In this paper, based on the author's study and work experience, we first analyzed the necessity of the coordinated development of the paper and digital resources, and then put forward the strategies of the coordinated development of the two resources. It is argued in this paper that the electronic and paper periodical resources should harmonically develop, and the funds should be reasonably allocated. The proper handling of the relationship between paper and electronic periodicals is an important subject for the current periodical interview.
