Retrospective acquisition of serials to meet new program needs will be extremely selective and limited to the past five years. Document delivery will be used 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.
B. Scholarly Work Material covering history, practice, and current research is collected. C. Conference Proceedings Very selectively acquired. D. Manuals of Practice Appropriate works are acquired. E. Textbooks Textbooks are not routinely acquired unless useful as general surveys or handbooks for a particular area not otherwise represented. They are purchased at faculty request.
