Responsibility for Collection Development
The development of library collections in all subject areas is the responsibility of the librarians, in consultation with the faculty. The goal is to develop the collection in a balanced manner, in support of the teaching and research needs of the disciplines within the overall University mission and objectives.
The Library administration appoints the Coordinator of Collection Development, who oversees the collection development process for monographs. The administration also appoints the Continuations and Electronic Resources Team (CERT), which coordinates the collection development process for serials and databases. The role of CERT is to coordinate strategy to maximize the effectiveness of library funds spent for serials and databases, in a way that will also provide the greatest access to materials to the university community.
