Library Services
Acquisitions
Library Services will develop and maintain a core
collection of books and journals and other materials to support the educational
programs of the University of Saint Francis. Purchase decisions are based on a
number of criteria, including cost, general user interest and needs, program
support, collection needs, etc.
Library staff encourages library users to make acquisition
suggestions and these are always given serious consideration. Special
recommendation forms for this purpose are available online. The recommendations
of those with specific subject area expertise are particularly welcome. The
collection will be evaluated regularly for quality, currency and relevancy using
a variety of measures specific to subject areas. (See the
Collection
Development Policy for more detailed information.) 8/12/03

The Vann Library
Media Request Form
can be used to submit requests for
electronic media (video/DVD/CD) to be added to the library's
collection. These requests are processed on a first come
first serve basis, from a limited library budget line. These
materials are intended to be included in the library's
regular circulating collection.
