G. K. Hall, 1979. Spanish, Catalan, Basque, English, and Western European languages. Also any other language and regional variations of languages if the work is significant. Special emphasis in first half of the twentieth century. Emigre literature, regardless of where it is written is also considered for purchase.
Emphasis is on scholarly treatment rather than popularization, textbooks, and children's literature.
The Undergraduate Library normally collects more popular treatments and the Education and Social Sciences Library collects children's literature for its School Collection. Materials have subject focus on some aspect of the Spanish, Catalan, and Basque languages and literatures. In addition, juvenile literature is acquired very selectively, in most cases because the author is an important literary figure. Appropriate primary and secondary works, and bibliographic, and reference materials are acquired. Ordinarily, dissertations, theses and translations are selectively collected.
