Categories of Materials Categories of Materials Monographs Serials Non-book materials Monographs Most funds can be used to support the acquisition of monographic works. Some monographs, if in profile, are received through the approval program, and can be claimed, if they don't arrive. Replacements - Selectors are routinely notified when titles have been lost and paid for by library users.
Selectors are then responsible for deciding whether to replace or withdraw the title.
Replacement requests are funded from the selector's monographic funds. Reserve Materials - A separate fund, managed by the head of the Reserve Reading Room is used to purchase titles that are to be put on course reserve in the Reserve Reading Room. Course reserve materials in branch libraries are purchased using subject funds. Serials New subscriptions mean an implied ongoing commitment to the title. Monographic and gift funds cannot be used to support a serials subscription, but can be used for serials backfiles.
