Document delivery agreements exist with all three of these consortia which allow delivery of journal articles and books from participating libraries in a timely manner. Print materials may be borrowed or photocopied from participating libraries through ILL services. Contemporary artists and performers working in the Pacific Rim, Asia, Africa, and other regions are also of interest. The library also collects sound recordings, music scores, selected home use videos, and visual art slides, to support the curriculum. There will also be an increasing emphasis on electronic journals and web resources.
Retrospective acquisitions are of interest for important titles and backfile issues of journals.
The Bennett Library is also on a direct mailing list for donations from some galleries. Slides and music recordings must be borrowed from the Burnaby campus for use downtown. Such a move must consider the impact on library resources and use. Subjects and Levels of Collecting Definitions of collection levels are derived from the American Library Association's Guide for Developing Collection Policy Statements, 1989. Collection levels will be applied after the subject categories have been determined.
