Collection Development and Acquisitions Department

Department Overview

The Collection Development and Acquisitions Department coordinates the efforts of the liaisons (the librarian liaisons to academic departments and programs) and the faculty, who work together to build the library's print, media, and digital collections. The department oversees the building of a balanced collection that is responsive to university needs. Specifically, staff in this department order and receive print monographs and musical scores; standing orders; media; and most of the digital resources for the library. Collection evaluations to accompany academic departments' 7-year reviews are also supported by this department.

All current members of the SU community may request new titles for the collection. The library's Collection Development Policy outlines what the library does and does not add to its collections.

We invite you to stop by the department during our open hours, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
