Library Instruction
Wilson Library is committed to teaching students make full, self-sufficient, and sophisticated use of information resources. The library instruction
program is based on the belief that to perform to the best of their ability in university courses, as well as independent intellectual inquiry, students
must be able to make informed and judicious use of the library and its resources.

Collection Development/Book Ordering
The teaching faculty shares responsibility with the library faculty for building a library collection which meets the curricular needs of the university. Recommendations will be reviewed and ordered based on availability of funds for the fiscal year. Most book orders are placed between July 1 and February 15 so that orders can be completed prior to the fiscal audit. When funds permit the addition of new journal titles those orders are placed in June to begin January 1. For additional information contact Research Desk at ext. 4305/4306 and they will connect you to the appropriate subject liason.
