Histories of specific universities are collected selectively. College textbooks on education are collected selectively. Ordinarily, popular treatments are not acquired. Scholarly or professional treatments of popular issues are individually considered. Format is usually of secondary concern to content.
Most materials acquired are monographs or serials in hard copy or microform.
Educational games, tests, videos, movies, records, CDs, and software are generally collected selectively and in conjunction with College of Education faculty. Collection development responsibilities considered within this statement refer to those aspects of the collection which support professional preparation for future teachers of physical education and for those wishing to assume positions in physical education and sports-related areas. For collection development responsibilities to support other activities of the Department, see the Kinesiology statement .
