Guidelines
Materials are considered for their subject, curriculum relevance, authoritativeness, currency, and price. User requests and appropriateness for the entire collection are also key criteria for consideration.
- Primary emphasis is on current materials; however, historic materials are purchased as necessary.
- Primary format is print. Other formats such as electronic and microformats are purchased selectively to support the Foreign Language, Literature, and Cultures department curriculum. When deciding between print and electronic resources of comparable scope and information type, preference is generally given to print materials. Electronic formats are favorable among foreign language, literature, and culture reference resources and periodical collections when available.
- Materials are acquired from Italy, France, German, Spain, and various Latin American countries. Select materials are acquired in the United States.
- Materials are purchased almost exclusively in the vernacular with select works purchased in translation or in English
Responsibilities
The responsibility of acquiring and managing foreign language, literature, and culture collections primarily resides with the foreign language, literature, and culture liaison librarian. The liaison librarian works with foreign language, literature, and culture faculty within academic departments. Collection management activities are monitored and administered by JMU Libraries' Collection Development Committee, with expenditures authorized by the Dean of Libraries.
