Gender and Sexuality Studies Collection Policy Guide

This guide outlines the practices for collecting resources in Gender and Sexuality Studies that meet the teaching, learning, and research needs of Tulane patrons.

Types

Monographs, monographic series, reference works, conference proceedings, and anthologies are regularly sought. Media (including software, audio, and visual items) are selectively sought. Dissertations and manuscripts are sought only upon faculty request. Collections of previously published material are sought when needed to meet the teaching, learning, and research needs of patrons.

Formats

To broaden accessibility, journals are sought online when this format is available. Print may be canceled 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 journals. Monographs and other types are generally purchased as printed text. Other formats are considered, especially when the alternative format would improve access or utility.
