Books:
The institutional and library mission statements must always provide the framework for selection. The ultimate responsibility for collection development rests with the library staff but the process of selecting materials for the library is a cooperative one involving the faculty and staff. Requests for orders can be submitted by any faculty/staff member on the appropriate request form, available at the circulation desk. Library funds are expended for materials that are cataloged and available in the library for use.

Audio-Visual Materials:
Audio-Visual materials are considered as subject information which support the instructional programs of Big Sandy Community and Technical College. Requests are recommended through the division.

Periodicals:
Selection of periodicals differs greatly from selection of book titles. Each periodical title involves a prospective long-standing commitment and because of increasing periodical subscription rates and limited funds, acquisition of a new title requires and receives substantially more consideration than purchase of a book title. A request form is available at the circulation desk.

Electronic Databases: Electronic Databases are considered as subject information which support the instructional programs of BSCTC.
