While selection of new materials is based on recently-published
materials and major, historical works 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. In general, textbooks are excluded
from the collection, although this policy may be reconsidered on a
case-by-case basis.
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.
OTHER RESOURCES AVAILABLE
The library-created International Business Pathfinder is available
online at http://www7.tamu-commerce.edu/libref/i-business.htm,
which includes links to current, reliable international business resources
available for free online.
