| Initiative Title | Prepare and implement a plan to guide the library’s eBook collection development |
|---|---|
| Submitted in Previous Year(s) | No |
| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | With the goal of adding greater numbers of e-book materials, examine and review our current policies, collection strengths, curriculum needs, e-book vendor options, technology and licensing issues, etc. to formulate an acquisition plan to guide purchases. |
| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | With the advent of a second campus library coupled with the increasing availability of academic eBook titles, it is time to incorporate more electronic materials within our collection. The consequences of not doing so would limit students access to materials shared between the libraries. |
| Department Goals | Provide timely access to a full-range of information materials and resources. |
| Programs | |
| Locations | Main Campus, Newburgh Campus |
| Estimated Completion Date | 08/28/2015 |
