While selection of new materials is based on recently-published
materials in these LC classes, deselection (a.k.a. weeding) may be based
on age, research value, physical condition, and use of existing materials.
If the collection includes multiple copies of a title, the library will
retain only the most recent edition unless usage warrants otherwise.
Unlike most other departments, accounting textbooks may be ordered when
warranted.
Further selection guidance may be obtained from resources
such as the Baker Library at the Harvard Business School, CHOICE Reviews,
and Library Journal.
TYPES OF MATERIALS COLLECTED
The collection includes monographs, periodicals and other serial publications,
statistical works, directories, and other standard reference works.
FORMATS OF MATERIALS COLLECTED/DELIVERY OF
MATERIALS
The collection includes material in print, microform, compact disc,
and online format. Although the bulk of the collection has traditionally
been in print format, as cost and availability have been concerns, the
collection has begun to move toward more electronic materials. With
the exception of material collected solely for classroom instruction,
no format is excluded if the material is relevant to the collection
and if the library has the necessary technology in place.
