The Kalamazoo College library supports the educational objectives of the College by providing resources and services to meet the information requirements of faculty, students and staff. To this end, the Library develops and maintains a collection of books, journals, and audiovisual materials, in a variety of formats, that support the instructional and research programs of the College.

The Kalamazoo College Library Collection Development policy defines the scope of the collection, describing types of materials, selection guidelines, and maintenance and weeding of the collection. The policy should be revised annually to accommodate changes in the College’s mission and curriculum.
