There is, however some overlap between the computer science collection and the computer engineering collection. An A.S. in Computer Science and an A.A.S. in Computer Systems are also offered. Advanced Certificates in Applied Computer Studies and Interactive Media Design are also offered. The geographic focus of the collection is primarily on the United States. Emphasis, however, is on current developments or analysis of recent events.
Emphasis is on English-language materials.
Date of Publication General emphasis for acquisition of new titles is on current publications in all subject areas. Retrospective acquisition of serials to meet new program needs will be extremely selective and limited to the past five years. Document delivery will be utilized instead to meet these needs whenever feasible. The special needs of the NTID students are considered where relevant. Major published source material appearing in core collection bibliographies or recommended lists will be included.
