Selecting New Materials
Over the academic year, faculty members work with liaison librarians to select new materials, and help coordinate department recommendations for the acquisition of new library books and journals. An annual dollar amount is provided to guide selection decisions; this amount may change from year to year.
Liaison librarians can provide a customized list of titles from which to choose, or faculty members can use other resources to identify suggested titles. Lists can be refined based on feedback provided by the faculty member.
Deselecting Library Holdings
Libraries regularly discard dated or worn material from their collections. Faculty members work with librarians to identify candidates for removal. They also identify gaps in the collection where material needs to be purchased or topics where newer items are needed.
Liaison librarians will provide customized lists of potential discards to faculty members to assist with their decision-making process. After reviewing the holdings on the shelves, faculty members will determine which books shall be removed, which should be replaced with something newer, and topics for which books are needed.
