COLLECTION ANALYSISTHE CURRENT PURCHASING ARRANGEMENT HAS HINDERED THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE LIBRARY COLLECTION.

THE AGE OF THE COLLECTION REFLECTS THE DELAY IN PURCHASING.

THE LIBRARY HEAVILY RELIES ON CONSORTIUMS AND ILL.

DR. LOERTSCHER “RECOMMEND THAT NO PURCHASES BE MADE UNTIL THE SCHOOL GETS ITS ACT TOGETHER; INSTEAD, SPEND THE TIME ASSEMBLING FREE RESOURCES ON A WIDE VARIETY OF TOPICS RELATED TO SPECIFIC PROJECTS GOING ON IN THE COLLEGE. YOU COULD USE GOOGLE SITES TO DEVELOP COLLABORATIVE BIBLIOGRAPHIES FOR RESEARCH TOPICS WHERE THE LIBRARIAN, INSTRUCTORS, AND STUDENTS THEMSELVES WOULD BUILD USEFUL BIBLIOGRAPHIES.”

FUTURE OF THE RESOURCE CENTER

• NEW ACQUISITION POLICY

• A COLLECTION OF ONLINE RESOURCES THAT INCLUDES

• ONLINE JOURNALS

• EBOOKS

• LIBGUIDES

• BOOK REQUEST FILLED THE SAME YEAR PRESENTED

• COLLECTION AGE TO BE REDUCED TO UNDER 20 YEARS.
