Collection Guidelines

Collection Guidelines

Languages

The primary language of collecting is English. The library supports limited collections of foreign language materials as needed in order to support the College curriculum. The selection of non-english language materials to support study and instruction will be done by the subject librarian in close consultation with the department. Non-English language items will be interfiled in general collection under the appropriate LC call number.

ESL materials and new readers are selected if course-related, at faculty request, or for self-study purposes, and at the appropriate reading level. ESL instructional and test preparation materials such as TOEFL are purchased, and in a variety of formats.
