Here are a few titles that might come in handy.  When we had to start
looking at policies to write our own, I simply did an internet search
and
looked at various library policies which were posted on the web.

I am a librarian at a two-year technical college.  I have been
instructed to
write a serials policy, including document delivery, microform, print,
electronic resources.
Can anyone recommend any good sites, policies, books, etc.? Thank you
