De-Selection Procedures (Word document)
Collection development for the Greenwood Library is shared by the librarians and faculty. Each academic department is assigned a librarian liaison to coordinate curricular and research collection needs and recommendations. Your liaison can provide information about the department's allocation status.
After the university budget for the new fiscal year is determined, the library determines acquisitions allocations for each department based on credit hour production and begins placing orders for books and audiovisual materials. The deadline for submitting orders for FY08-09 funds is March 2, 2009.
Please send all requests for books and audiovisual materials through your liaison. You will receive an email when items you have requested have been processed and are available for check-out. Please note the following special considerations:
In January 2007, the Library discontinued its subscription to the Choice cards and began access to Choice Reviews Online. Please note the following when using this service. For more information, see Using Choice Reviews or contact your librarian liaison.
Send as much publication information as possible to your liaison via email, campus mail (catalog or flier pages are acceptable), or file attachment. Please indicate priority 1 or 2 on all requests and if you would like us to check on availability of an electronic book.
Complete the Serial Title Recommendation Form and either email it or send a signed copy to your liaison. The signature of the department chair is required, and we accept a digital signature/acknowledgement if you prefer to email the form to your liaison. New journal subscriptions start in January and must be requested in the spring of the preceding year for inclusion in the renewal order.
Contact your liaison or Virginia Kinman, Electronic Resources Librarian (x2441), for information about potential online databases and trial options. Please do not contact vendors directly.
Films Media Group (FMG) offers 1-year leases to many Films for the Humanities and other educational film producers for half the cost of the physical item. Browse or search the FMG catalog online. Contact your liaison or Virginia Kinman, Electronic Resources Librarian (x2441), to request a streaming video from FMG.
