Policies & Procedures
Policies and Procedures are critical to the day to day and long term management of libraries. Policies and procedures are often confused as one and the same. However, policies in general are intended to be guiding principals to influence and determine decisions, actions, and other matters. Procedures are typically situation specific with detailed rules and instructions.
This section includes resources and information for developing policies and procedures and links to library policies and procedures on various library websites.
