Faculty Resources: Home

The library collection is continually developed to meet the present and future information needs of students and faculty. The Collection Management Librarian and Periodicals Librarian select new resources for the collection, relying heavily on faculty input. Criteria taken into consideration when making final selection decisions include:

• relevance of the subject matter to the collection
• timeliness or permanence
• authoritativeness
• accuracy of information
• author's reputation and significance as a writer
• inclusion of the title in recognized bibliographies
• price
• availability of materials on the subject

You can request to borrow a resource from another library in two ways:

1. Directly from the database you found the article, which will auto-populate the ILL form
2. Manually fill out the ILL form for a book or article you need using the links above or from the ILL webpage

To donate books to the library, each donor must fill out this form and turn it in with the item(s).  The form describes, in detail, the responsibilities of the university and the donor in regards to donations. Paper forms are available at the Circulation Desk on the first floor of the library. 

For questions or concerns, please contact the Collection Management Librarian.
