Sociology Collection Policy Guide

The majority of materials added to the collections will be materials published in the last 3-5 years, with an emphasis on the most current titles. Older materials will be added selectively, and out-of-print materials are generally added only to replace items lost or missing from the collections, unless specific requests have been made to fill gaps in the collections.

Appropriate subject-related materials treating the period of the mid-20th century to the present are emphasized, with historical works being considered selectively.
