Library Collection Development

The Service is for

Staff, Students

Service Description

The Library’s goal is to provide high quality library services and resources in support of the education and research activities of the students and staff of the University and of our other customer groups. Library resources include primary and secondary material in print and electronic formats.

The acquisition of material and the management of the Library’s collections are informed by, and prioritised according to, the University’s current and projected teaching and research strategies. The Library does not aim to cover all areas of knowledge.

Reading lists submitted to subject librarians will be checked for availability. Items suitable for scanning will also be identified on request.

Searches are undertaken for all items reported as missing. Replacement copies are offered if items are not found within a fixed time frame and appropriate revisions are made to the Library catalogue.

Further information can be found in the Resource Development and Management Policy.
