This policy covers both general collections and reference materials. Translations into English from other languages will only be selected if they are seminal works or of major importance to the profession. Non-English materials will not be selected. Classic works will be selectively acquired in order to offer historical perspective. Due to funding constraints, global coverage will emphasize only those areas pertinent to the teaching and research concerns of faculty.
Emphasis is on professional materials.
Materials on the methodological and practical aspects of the field will be broadly collected. Works on the theoretical aspects of the field will be more selectively acquired. Textbooks will not be purchased, with preference given instead to professional monographs emphasizing varying aspects of the discipline. However, textbooks will be considered for addition to the collection as gift items. Materials on accounting and auditing standards are widely acquired.
