Killam Library solicits the assistance of the teaching faculty in developing the library's collections. Most of the money for new books and AV materials is divided between the academic departments and colleges, which generate book and AV requests to spend their allotted funds. Each department or college handles materials requests differently. Faculty members should consult their department chairpersons for instructions regarding the selection process.
A librarian is assigned as collection development liaison to each department or college, as follows:
