The graduate research program is necessarily international in character. The collection includes academic, research oriented materials across a broad subject area. Monographs, periodicals indexed in major indexing services, technical and regional planning and policy reports, area studies, and case studies are collected. Reference materials include research oriented bibliographies and legal and business information sources. G. Formats Primarily print for monographs and most journals, though electronic full-text is also of growing importance for journals.
Bibliographic databases are available through the Internet.
Videos and disks are purchased selectively, through faculty request. H. Multiple Copies Multiple copies are purchased for heavily used titles. Duplication is usually limited to two copies of a title. Faculty and student requests are encouraged. The broad nature of the program means that other subject librarians will be monitoring and ordering materials relevant to this program.
