Henceforth, primarily recent publications will be purchased. Retrospective acquisition of serials to meet new program needs will be extremely selective and usually limited to the past five years. Document delivery will be used instead to meet these needs whenever feasible. Because of the uniqueness of the program and because of the level of research, some very relevant materials may not be available through document delivery, and the library will need to acquire them. Because this is a unique Ph. D. level, research oriented program, comprehensive, research level coverage of the subject is necessary.
Every effort is made to accommodate faculty requests for specific curriculum related titles.
B. Scholarly Works Material covering history, practice, and current research is collected. C. Conference Proceedings Conference proceedings are extremely important and are collected as comprehensively as budget permits. D. Manuals of Practice Appropriate works are acquired. E. Textbooks Textbooks are not routinely acquired unless useful as general surveys or handbooks for a particular area not otherwise represented, or unless faculty request them. Government documents are not maintained separately from other publications.
