Document delivery will be utilized instead to meet these needs whenever feasible. V. Treatment of Subject Matter A. Level of Treatment Emphasis is on a collection which supports curriculum driven needs of graduate students and faculty. 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.
B. Textbooks Textbooks are not routinely acquired unless useful as general surveys or handbooks for a particular area not otherwise represented. D. Government Documents Government publications are acquired when the content is appropriate to the subject scope of the collection, but are not maintained separately. F. Serials Serials are of major importance in this field. G. Multiple Copies Multiple copies of monographic titles are acquired only when heavy use is anticipated or demonstrated or at the curriculum-based request of a faculty member. Technical reports are acquired on faculty request.
