Faculty - "FYI" - Library Resources & Services

SELECTION AND ORDERING OF LEARNING MATERIALS
Library materials are ordered annually in Fall semester.
Faculty members participate in the selection of instructional materials (books, magazines, DVDs, CD-ROMs, etc) for the library collection.
Materials may be requested by emailing or by sending a publisher’s brochure or catalog to the Library Director.
When new books & other materials are ready, instructors will be notified and a list of new materials will be posted on the Library homepage.
Please notify library staff of upcoming assignments so we can coordinate availability of library sources!
