I oversee the procedures for the library's approval plan program. I work with librarian subject specialists to provide collection development reports and budget data needed by academic department representatives or other appropriate individuals. I assist in the monthly updating of the library's New Books List on the web. I am directly responsible for collection development in the areas of replacement of damaged or missing books, filling gaps and needs in the undergraduate collection, and maintaining general library purchases for prize-winning books and other noteworthy books of current special interest. Assist and participate in on-site vendor visits.
Coordinates work between departments.
Things too damaged for exchange or not taken from exchange list are shredded or go to PPD for auction. I maintain statistics both on items donated to the NMSU library and on items sent for exchange. I am also responsible for receiving and repairing damaged items from the library collection. I maintain statistics on all these actions. I supervise a second student to help with the actual mending.
