The selection of Library materials is the responsibility of the Librarians, with input from current faculty. While faculty recommendations are welcome and necessary, the Library staff is responsible for maintaining a balanced collection. Faculty may request acquisition of appropriate and useful sources for student research needs and course requirements. Students and staff are encouraged to request materials as well. The final responsibility for the maintenance and development of the collection rests with the Collection Services Librarian. Requests should be sent to the Collection Services Librarian.

The Collection Services Librarian performs this final responsibility in consultation with the Reference Librarians and the Director of the Library, including evaluation, selection, weeding, and designation of materials for relocation.
