The library will select, maintain and make available collections of materials to support the instructional programs of the college. Materials are selected to meet the academic needs of Collin College faculty members, staff members, and students. 图书馆 resources are selected by professional librarians, with significant faculty input. Materials are selected to reflect a variety of points of view.
The libraries’ collections exist to make scholarly materials available on an equitable and cost effective basis to Collin’s entire faculty, staff, and student population. It is not the library’s role to house materials that cannot be used by all Collin faculty, staff, and students. Resources which may only be used by a portion of the College population are housed in departmental classrooms and laboratories.
图书馆的馆藏可分为以下几类：
- 图书馆自有非流通资料
- 图书馆自有流通资料
- 图书馆授权的电子资料
- Traditional or Print Reserve items - Faculty selected, owned by a faculty member or the library and made available for in-library use for one semester
Materials that fall outside the categories listed above may be housed in and circulated from the library only by prior arrangement with the library director. The library director will determine whether the library can successfully manage materials that fall outside the categories listed above. If the library accepts these materials, the library director and the responsible faculty or staff member will create a document outlining ownership of the materials, length of retention at the library, provisions for servicing and repairing materials or equipment, library marking of the materials, and return or disposal of the materials at the end of the retention period.
Identical materials may be held by more than one Collin College library to meet instructional needs. Multiple copies may also be held by a single Collin College library for the same reason.
