Art Collection Policy

Monographs, monographic series, serials, reference works, conference proceedings, and exhibition catalogs are regularly collected; media (including video tapes) and dissertations are collected selectively; excluded are most manuscripts, popular works, maps, and most collections of previously published materials.

To broaden accessibility, digital journals are sought when this format is available. Print may be cancelled to reduce costs when ownership of the online version is assured. Online access that requires additional costs with print subscription will be sought selectively within the amount budgeted for Art journals. Monographs and other types are generally purchased as printed text though other formats are considered, including digital files and multimedia sources.
