Ordering Media Materials Departments may use all or part of their library allocation for the purchase of media materials, including audiotapes, videotapes, compact discs, CD-ROMS, kits, etc. A limited number of Media requests are funded each year from the Library Media Center's budget, particularly those items which directly support classroom instruction. New shipments are received weekly. Books are rough-sorted and shelved according to broad subject categories to expedite location of titles of interest. As a way of assisting faculty who want to be actively involved in the approval review and selection process, but are unable to visit the library on a routine basis, Collection Development is providing many of its departmental Faculty Representatives with weekly email lists of new approval selections.
Faculty review the lists and return their selections by email.
If your department is not receiving this service but would like to, contact your Collection Development Librarian or the Head of Acquisitions for full details.
