1. Identification: locating potentially worthwhile items to add to the collection

2. Selection: deciding which of the identified items to add to the collection

3. Acquisitions: securing the items for the collection

4. Organization: indexing and cataloging the items acquired in a manner that will aid the end-user in locating materials in the collection

5. Preparation: labeling, binding, repairing, conservation, and otherwise making items ready for (and maintained during) storage in a manner that allows for easy retrieval and maintenance of what is in a collection.
