Collection Development Policy

Collection of Faculty Publications

Monographs

The Library does not actively seek to collect SHSU faculty publications. If a SHSU professor wishes to have copy of their monograph publication added to the main collection, they may:

• Request that the library purchase a copy of their monograph to add to the main collection. 
• Donate a copy of the monograph

The subject liaison may comply with the request at their discretion. 

Articles 

The Library cannot necessarily subscribe to a journal containing a faculty member's published articles. However, the library will gladly accept an electronic copy of a faculty member's article into the Institutional Repository. All rights and restrictions associated with housing an article in the Institutional Repository apply.
