This document describes how the Library acquires material, deselects material, and includes information on copyright and on gifts to the Library. The Library Advisory Council also helped create and approve the Budget Allocation Formula, a process which had not been revised for several years. The formula allows for changes in enrollment, addition and deletion of programs, and disposition of funds not spent in first-round requests as well as book costs per subject area. 5.1.4 Information Technology Institutions should supplement their traditional library with access to electronic information. Where appropriate, institutions should use technology to expand access to information for users at remote sites, such as extension centers, branch campuses, laboratories, clinical sites or students' homes.
Students also have access to word processing and other applications software.
The Weatherford College Library Electronic Resource List is provided to all students with a reminder that assistance is available from library staff members. The Technology Department is working to provide access to these technological resources at both the Mineral Wells Education Center and the Decatur Education Center. Some of these resources are also available to students with Internet access at home. The institution must provide evidence that it is incorporating technological advances into its library and other learning resource operations. In addition to the library's technological advances in learning resources, Weatherford College students have access to a variety of learning resources in the Success Connection.
