1. Purpose

         The Gee Library Core Collection Development Policy is intended to assist library subject specialists and University departmental faculty in the selection of library materials. Application of the Core policy assists library subject specialists in selection of routine acquisitions and withdrawal of materials based on priorities needed to support curricular demands, including new and emerging programs. The Core policy also provides guidance in responding to established priorities including preservation, deselection, gifts, standing orders, and exchanges.

 

2. Mission of the Library

         Gee Library’s mission is to provide quality library services to Texas A&M University-Commerce constituencies. This includes provision of access to print and electronic information resources, both directly and indirectly through partnerships with other libraries; instructional support on the use of library collections, owned and accessed; and collaborative collection development activities that support faculty and students in curricular areas and associated research areas.

 

3. Review of Collection Development Policy

         Both the Core Collection Development Policy as well as the discipline and sub-discipline collection development policies will be reviewed by appropriate library staff every two years.
