One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Collection development concepts

Collection development is the systematic process of acquiring, organizing, and maintaining information resources that meet the needs of a library’s user community. Mastering its core concepts—needs assessment, selection criteria, acquisition methods, and evaluation—ensures that a collection remains relevant, balanced, and cost‑effective, which is essential for success in the NUC CCMAS, NBTE, and NCCE exams.
