ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Libraries is seeking feedback from campus users on new electronic resources for possible inclusion in its collections throughout the month of February. This is part of the Libraries’ assessment-based and proactive approach to building collections.

On-campus users are asked to visit the explore the resources under consideration and provide feedback via the embedded form on that page. Any insight on how well the proposed resource works, quality and relevance of information contained within the resource, and how it might be useful is helpful in the Libraries’ evaluation. Note that access is limited to members of the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ community. Please see the .

ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Libraries develops collections in a broad, interdisciplinary and systematic way to support the teaching, research and creative needs of the campus. Our strategy focuses on three tracks: 1.) building a core collection through the acquisition of large e-resource packages in multiple disciplines; 2.) fostering a responsive collection through fulfilling direct requests from faculty and students; and 3.) curating a specialized collection through the expertise of our subject liaison librarians who work directly with users and anticipate the teaching and research needs of the university. This approach allows the Libraries to meet individual needs and plan for future needs, while building the overall collection.
