While the current collection includes materials on the literature of Spain, emphasis is now given to the literature of Latin-American. Date of Publication Recent publications are given priority. In general, single copies are purchased. Gifts Gifts corresponding to programs of study or research at York, or filling lacunae in the collection, are gratefully accepted and acknowledged. Weeding The inverse of purchasing, collection evaluation and weeding take place on a continual basis, as time permits.
Books represent the major part of the collection and annual expenditures.
Paperback is the preferred form. Lama binding is performed selectively on high-use materials. The Spanish-language journal collection is exceedingly small. Robarts Library houses a fairly extensive collection of Spanish-language materials. 3a 3b Explanation of collection levels Go to Collection Development Policies Other Library Policies York University Libraries home page .
