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.)
