Third, the special libraries should make advantageous contracts of purchase based on the cooperations between libraries through the formation of a consortium. Fourth, librarians in charge of collection development need to have substantial work abilities to cope with their role and expertism in the electronic environment. Fifth, to activate electronic materials, the strategy for budget increases should be made.

A collection development policy is the library's master plan that provides library's long/short-term plans. It also informs the community of the library's commitment in collection development. However, in Korea, libraries which maintain such a policy are not yet to be easily found. Furthermore, due to increasing importance of electronic resources, libraries are gradually required to have electronic resource management policy that reflects a change in the information environment. The purpose of this study is to suggest a model electronic resource management policy in academic libraries. It derived and verified more than thirty preliminary elements from literature and case studies. The elements were modified and supplemented, and as a result, the selection criteria gained the highest marks. The findings can be applied for selecting the elements of digital collection development policy in the university library and reorganizing them so as to meet its peculiarities. This study, finally, presents a model that includes a guideline for the university library which will establish digital collection development policy.

도서관의 기본적인 목적은 지식의 생산 전달 및 사회에 대한 봉사이다. 도서관은 장서 및 정보봉사를 통해 이러한 목적을 달성하는데 기여하는 것이 필수적인 구성요소이다. 이런 목표를 달성하기 위해 장서의 질을 개선함으로써 이용자서비스의 질을 한층 더 향상시키기 위해 장서폐기가 필요하다. 하지만 현재 우리 도서관계에서는 장서 폐기의 중요성을 어느 정도 인식하고 있지만 회피하는 경향이 있다. 이러한 이유로 각 도서관별 장서의 양에 따라 도서관의 순위를 매기는 정책 요인과 실무 요인, 행정 요인 등이 있다. 결국 장서폐기에 대한 필요성은 인식하고 있지만 쉽게 실천을 못하는 실정이다. 장서폐기는 부족한 서고 공간 문제에 대한 해결책이 될 수 있을 뿐 아니라 장서의 품질관리를 위해서도 필수적인 활동이다. 따라서 장서폐기에 대한 필요성과 그에 따르는 저해요인을 분석함으로써 현실적인 도서관 관리를 재조명하고자 한다.
