Library Purchases Recommendation Form

The Collection Management program, in which Library faculty participate as subject bibliographers, is responsible for the selection and evaluation of all resources made available by the Rod Library, either in the local collection or via remote access, and for liaison with the faculty in the academic departments and programs of the University. Collection Management also develops policies governing the collections, and provides analyses of Library resources and services in support of self-studies, accreditation requirements, and the University’s academic program review process.

The Special Services division of the department includes three units, each staffed by a faculty librarian. They are the Art & Music Collection, Special Collections & University Archives, and the Youth Collection. Each of these units makes available specialized resources in various formats, and provides associated reference and instructional services.
