1. INTRODUCTION
The collection development policy of the Florida State University College of Law Research Center attempts to reflect the institutional goals of the College of Law and the University. Its primary responsibility is to support the educational and research functions, present and future, of the College of Law and the University.
The collection development policy does not try to reduce selection to a mechanical process, but rather to provide a broad framework guiding all who participate in the process. While a coherent and directed materials selection process is desirable, all of the particulars with the written policy statement are subject to modification to meet the needs of users or to respond to changing circumstances affecting the Research Center.
A note about information formats:
In recent years emphasis in collection development has shifted from paper and microformat to electronic resources. The Research Center has purchased Hein Online, the entire set of BNA Online databases, LLMC Digital, The Making of Modern Law and the U.S. Supreme Court Briefs, the CCH Internet Research Network, and a variety of other legal databases. We also benefit from databases licensed by other Florida State University departments, such as JSTOR, the CIS Congressional Hearings Retrospective, and the RIA Checkpoint tax databases, and from purchases by the Florida Center for Library Automation for the entire state university system. These databases do not fit neatly into our previous collection parameters.
In making decisions about whether to purchase a database and whether to continue to acquire paper or microform copies of items now available electronically, the Research Center staff consider factors such as cost, ease of access, pedagogical needs, and faculty research interests. For access to electronic databases, IP access to all FSU faculty and students is preferred; however, if the cost is prohibitive, IP access only within College of Law buildings (along with password access for College of Law faculty as needed) may be selected. In all collection decisions, our goal is to provide the College of Law with the most effective research tools in the most cost-efficient manner.
2. Levels of Collection Intensity
In setting levels of collection intensity, the Research Center shall use the collection level codes formerly established by the Research Libraries Group (RLG). Few areas of the collection will be developed at level 5; most areas collected will be at levels 3 or 4; many areas within the law conspectus will not be collected at all. Level definitions are taken from the RLG conspectus.
- Level 5 - Comprehensive Level. A collection in which the library endeavors, so far as is reasonably possible, to include all significant works in the defined field. This level of collecting intensity is one that maintains a "special collection"; the aim, if not the achievement, is exhaustiveness. Older materials are acquired for historical research. This level is reserved for a very small number of subjects for which the Research Center has or seeks to have historically extensive collections.
- Level 4 - Research Level. A collection which includes all materials and information required for faculty and law student instruction and research, including dissertations, graduate papers, and independent research. It allows for an expansion of the faculty and advanced student research programs in any way these may develop in the future. It includes the major published source materials required for independent research, all basic reference works and a wide selection of monographs, as well as an extensive collection of journals. Older materials may be acquired for historical research.
- Level 3 - Instructional Support Level. A collection which is adequate to support instruction in law and research at the J.D. level. It usually consists of a selection of reference tools, and extensive collection of primary legal materials and documents, the most important monographs, and a selection of the outstanding journals in the field. Historical material need not be acquired. The emphasis is on building current and representative collections adequate to maintain knowledge of a subject of limited or generalized purposes but less than scholarly research.
- Level 2 - Basic Information Level. A collection of up-to-date general materials which will aid readers' immediate understanding of a subject and will serve to introduce readers to the subject and to other sources of available information. Such a collection might include reference tools, handbooks, or texts or a combination of these, in the minimum number which will serve the purpose. A basic information collection is not sufficiently intensive to support instruction in any course in the subject area involved.
- Level 1 - Minimal Level. A subject area in which only a few basic works and works specifically requested by faculty members are collected.

4. American Law - Criteria by Subject
The projected depth of the collection in various broad subject areas is outlined in this section. The subject area designations have been borrowed, with modifications and additions, from Recommended Publications for Legal Research published annually by Rothman. For each subject area, the level of collection intensity is indicated by the collection level codes established by the Research Libraries Group (RLG). The level of collection development is indicated by the number in parenthesis following the subject heading. For more information about the collection development levels, see Section II of this policy.

5. Foreign Law - Criterial by Jurisdiction
The projected depth of the paper and microform collections for various foreign law jurisdictions is outlined in this section. (This document does not indicate electronic databases purchased for specific jurisdictions. Faculty and students seeking legal materials for foreign jurisdictions also make use of the foreign law materials in LexisNexis and Westlaw.) For all jurisdictions, materials in English are favored where available unless another language is specifically requested. For jurisdictions not listed, the Research Center collects only materials in English on the legal system and/or business law. The level of collection intensity for materials in listed jurisdictions is indicated by the collection level codes established by the Research Libraries Group (RLG). The level of collection development is indicated by the number in parenthesis following the subject heading. For more information about the levels, see Section II of this policy.
