Collection Guidelines
- Generally, the Library's collections are intended to reflect curriculum concerns.
- Specifically, the policy objectives underlying the development of the collections are, in order of priority:
a) to support specific course requirements;
b) to support general study and practical research in contemporary art and design; and
c) to facilitate a basic understanding in areas of knowledge relating to art and design. - It will be the responsibility of the Library Administration to implement these objectives with due regard to the:
a) quality of the collections as a whole and the relative merits of specific material under consideration;
b) university's obligations and commitments to provide equal access to students, faculty and staff with disabilities; and
c) need to balance the priorities of the policy objectives against limitations imposed by financial, physical and other organizational factors.
