Policy Analysis & Example In-Class

By the end of class today (April 4 or Monday at beginning of class) analyze the policy example found on the calendar. Since this document is quite large--as most policy manuals are--restrict your analysis to sections 1.1-1.5 & 53.1-53.1.6. Look for the following aspects of manuals (hint, I would suggest double-checking Pwonline):

1. Completeness: Does the policy cover the issue thoroughly?
2. Design: Is the document readable? Why or Why not (use examples)?
3. Ethics: Is the policy fair and reasoned towards all parties that might use Library resources?
4. What did you learn from reading this policy about the nature of policies in general? Why do companies need policy?
