Howdy folks!Just wanted to clue everyone in on the new collection development blogs we've started. Library staff will use these blogs to alert faculty to new subject specific titles and title lists in their respective areas. In turn, we hope that faculty will examine these titles and give us some recommendations on new books for the library collection. It's a win-win situation! The new blogs

Late last night the New York Times posted a review of Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows which the reviewer apparently purchased at an unnamed book store in New York. We’re concerned about this early review because Scholastic Press has confirmed that a small percentage (1 hundredth of 1 percent of the U.S. orders) of books were actually delivered early. The New York Times is a major national

Howdy folks. I realize it's been awhile since we posted - this blog is proving more difficult to keep up with than we had originally anticipated. But we're going to redouble our efforts with the intent of making it an almost daily thing.Months ago, the library staff decided to split up Collection Development responsibilities into 5 main divisional/subject categories.
