Faculty Services/Policies at the NWTC Library

Recommending and Requesting

The Library has a reference/media fund that it uses to purchase all physical and online resources requested by Faculty (does not include software requests).

In July each year, the Library first encumbers money for all the reoccurring requests, (subscriptions, standing orders, renewals).  The money that is left is used for new or one-time requests from faculty throughout the year.

Collection Development

Faculty can send purchasing requests to Kim LaPlante (920-498-5487) to build a core collection of resource materials for their program.

Requests are accepted any time and are filled in the order they are received. Instructors just need to send purchasing information (preferably from web sites or publisher emails) and indicate which campus libraries should have the materials.

Faculty can also donate copies of their current textbook to the Library to put on 2-Hour Reserve.
