This agreement allows SUNY Buffalo graduate students, living and working in Rochester, to take a limited number of Social Work courses at RIT for full graduate credit transferrable to SUNY Buffalo. This joint program has had no significant impact on the library's Social Work buying since no funding was made available. The geographic focus of the collection is primarily on the United States with only selective examples of practice in Canada, Great Britain, and Europe. Special emphasis is given to New York State and local agencies. B. Chronological Periods Emphasis 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. V. Treatment of Subject Matter A. Level of Treatment Emphasis is on a collection which supports curriculum driven needs of students and faculty. The special needs of the NTID students are considered where relevant.
