GENERAL PURPOSE & SCOPE
The James G. Gee Library collection supports the curriculum and research
needs of undergraduate students, graduate students, and faculty in the
Departments of Mathematics and Computer Science.
Subject strengths for Computer Science include: artificial intelligence,
databases, data communication, computer languages, and networking,.
The university offers the following degrees, majors, and special
programs in the Computer Science department:
- Bachelor of Science in Computer Science.
- Minor in Computer Science
- Minor as a Second Teaching Field in Computer Information Systems
(Secondary Teacher Certification).
- Master of Science in Computer Science (Thesis or Nonthesis options).
- Minor in Computer Science.
GENERAL SUBJECT BOUNDARIES
The collection development emphasis is on purchasing current literature
for undergraduate curriculum.
The primary subject holdings for Computer Science are QA 75 –
QA76 (Computer Science). The following areas are also collected where
relevant to this department: Q (General Science), QA (Mathematics),
QC (Physics), T (General Technology), and TK (Electrical Engineering).

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. See
Core policy for weeding criteria.
LANGUAGES

GEOGRAPHIC AREAS

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.
OTHER RESOURCES AVAILABLE
- ACM Digital Library.
- Annual Reviews-Physical Sciences.
- IEEE Digital Library and Site Search.
