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. Pertinent reference sources will also be acquired.
Every effort is made to accommodate faculty requests for specific curriculum related titles.
The law Reference collection consists of U.S. and N.Y.S. laws, regulations, and cases. It also includes the codes of the CIty of Rochester. These are kept current. C. Manuals of Practice Acquired selectively to maintain an emphasis on current practice and policies. D. Textbooks Textbooks are not routinely acquired unless useful as general surveys or handbooks for a particular area not otherwise represented.
