Every effort is made in collection development and the operation of the Library to uphold the college's mission. In developing the collection, the library's top priority is the purchase of materials that directly support the educational needs of students. The library seeks to respond to the general information needs of administrators, faculty, staff, and to some extent to those in the local community. While it is recognized that faculty often have special research needs, the library cannot expect to meet all of these needs through the collection development process. Other library services, such as interlibrary loan, can be provided to assist faculty in their research.
