Materials Selection
The major focus of Materials Selection is the identification
and approval
of materials which support campus instructional needs.
(More background on Collection
Development perspectives and priorities can
be found on the Collection
Development Mission and Statement of Philosophy page.)
Liaison
Librarians
Selection is a shared responsibility of librarians and faculty, with
each college
having a liaison librarian to work with faculty. Please feel free to
contact the
liaison librarian for your area concerning selection of materials or
any other library
service needs. Student suggestions for library materials are also welcomed.
