Stevenson University Collection Development Policy

This policy articulates the guidelines used for materials purchase at Stevenson University. It was last updated in Fall 2010.

Materials for Graduate Programs

Materials in all formats selected for graduate programs will be of a specialist nature.  This is due to the very nature of the programs offered.  The expertise required to select materials in areas such as Forensic Science or Business and Technology Management is such that faculty input is nearly always necessary if library resources are to support graduate programs adequately.  Materials in an electronic format will be especially valuable as almost all Stevenson University graduate programs are offered online.  Additionally, electronic journals make many titles available for research likely to be useful to graduate programs.
