There's a book I think the library should add to their collection. Who do I talk to?
Answer
To suggest a specific item for the library to purchase and make a part of our collection, you can fill out the Resource Purchase Request form.
Here is our general criteria that we use for selecting resources. You can read our full Collection Management Plan at https://library.gordon.edu/collectionmanagementplan.
Our mission is to select in support of the curriculum and mission of Gordon College to build a collection over time.
- We select books, ebooks, audiobooks, children's books, DVDs, musical scores, and curriculum materials.
- Because of the frequency of updates, we do not select textbooks.
- We do not select self-published or AI-generated materials.
- Support of the curriculum is judged by examination of curricular goals and course syllabi, and through consultation with departmental faculty.
