Book Inquiry

Hello:

Hope all is well. Our press wanted to inquire about how we can make our forthcoming book, Mississippi Prison Writing, known to your library for possible inclusion in your collection ? We feel it is an important cultural publication that should be read by as many people as possible. Any information would be appreciated.

Sincerely,

Louis Bourgeois

Asked By: VOX PRESS 

Good day, Louis,

The librarian who is the subject specialist for this collection development area is Librarian, Online Learning Lugene Rosen (lrosen@fullcoll.edu, 714.992.7383, https://library.fullcoll.edu/directory/, and https://fullcoll.libguides.com/prf.php?account_id=145840). You might want to reach out to her. FCL strives to offer students a well-developed collection of print books and eResources. The librarians welcome recommendations for supplemental research additions and leisure reads. Selections are constrained by both budget and the college accreditation requirement that library resources support supplemental research. Regarding research materials – FCL strives to offer students a well-developed collection of print books and eResources, and we welcome your recommendations for supplemental research additions and leisure reads. 

 

Within a limited budget, the librarians select titles to supplement course content for their collection subject areas by consulting a number of sources/using knowledge gained from: 1) Faculty and student surveys and requests; 2) Library conference presenters’ recommendations and selection lists; 3) Reference questions; 4) Library periodicals, such as Library Journal and Reference & User Services Quarterly; 5) Professional library review resource Choice online; 6) Community requests; 7) Book award lists; 8) Course descriptions in Curricunet; and 9) Staff recommendations -- to maintain and develop the library collection. If the appropriate department dean can fund the book(s) or other requested resources, this helps. Please note that reviews are available via OneSearch.

Your project is important, best of luck with your work.

Thank you for your time,

Monique
