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. Pertinent reference sources will also be acquired.
Every effort is made to accommodate faculty requests for specific curriculum related titles.

Scholarly Works Major scholarly works pertinent to curricula will be acquired. C. Textbooks Textbooks are not routinely acquired unless useful as general surveys or handbooks for a particular area not otherwise represented. Newsletters Significant publications will be acquired. G. Serials Serials are of importance in this field to keep abreast of current perspectives and studies of social structures, groups, and problems.
