Acquisitions are primarily by purchase, by exchange with other libraries, or through gifts, which are gladly accepted. The major emphasis in the General Book Collection is on current academic imprints. We heartily encourage purchase suggestions from UAF faculty. Priority is given to materials for specific teaching, study, and research purposes. Notifications can be sent to requestors when an item is ready to circulate.
Some books are available in full-text on the web .
For details, see Periodicals Collection . The journal subscription list is reviewed at regular intervals through UAF department heads, and suggestions for new subscriptions are prioritized by departments. Because of rising costs of journal subscriptions, subscription requests from individual faculty members are returned to departments for prioritization at the time the entire list is reviewed. An initial array of titles, both individual publications and web pages offering multiple titles, can be found under Full Text Resources . The Audiovisual Collections include a variety of media including films and videotapes, and are developed to support UAF instructional programs.
