Monographs, monographic series, serials, reference works, conference proceedings, media (including software or visual items) and recordings are regularly sought; excluded are most anthologies, dissertations, manuscripts, maps, and most collections of previously published materials.
To broaden accessibility, journals are sought online 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 a print subscription will be sought selectively within the amount budgeted for Comparative Literature journals. Monographs and other types are generally purchased as printed text and ebooks. Streaming film and other audiovisual formats are also considered for purchase by Media Services.
