Usefulness of the publication for ongoing academic programs.
Need for timelines (e.g. new editions).
Quality of author and publisher.
Recommendation from qualified reviews.
The library does not purchase required textbooks, multiple copies,
or personal copies. Research material, if its usefulness is limited
to highly indiviudual projects, will be made available on interlibrary
loan from other libraries. Budget limitations make it necessary at times
to establish priorities among book requests within one's department.
