Balanced Treatment of Subject Matter Balance will be achieved insofar as money makes this possible. In some cases this will mean the purchase of representative materials offensive to some. Works that denigrate Christianity, belittle its followers, or otherwise unthinkingly mock the person and work of Jesus Christ will not be purchased. This is admittedly a fine line that will inevitably engender errors on both sides. B. Specific Selection criteria Materials published with the utmost scholastic principles evident in the authors' undertakings, that meet specified pedagogues as outlined above, and that are readable by undergraduates, will be eagerly purchased.
Readability is, thus, a paramount factor.
Books well researched yet inscrutably written, will be purchased sparingly, and only in cases where an alternative is not available. In some cases, the Dean of Library Services or the liaison librarian may ask faculty to select a different title if a given selected title is dense or otherwise hopelessly unmanageable by undergraduates. Audiovisual For media materials, the standard resources will be used in consultation with the Media Center director, faculty, liaison librarians, and the Dean of Library Services. Videos will be purchased that evidence the highest scholarly achievement available. Videos will be selected with consideration given to the content with respect to its documentation, its production and, if applicable, the acting.
