Purpose: Collection development is one of the most important and basic tasks in libraries and it means collecting information resources and data based on a plan set to meet the needs of the users. Considering the increasing growth of publications in the world, the annual increase in the price of books and publications, and the lack of budget and space, no library, however huge, can provide all library materials; Therefore, the selection of information sources is one of the most important stages of collection development, and libraries should allocate their limited financial resources to the preparation of materials that most likely meet the needs of their users. Based on this, the current research aimed to present the model of resource providing for public libraries in Iran from the point of view of librarians.
