Criteria for Non-Print Purchase Decisions

The budgeted amount for purchasing non-print items will be divided into four equal parts to be spent fall, winter, spring and summer quarters.

Preference for purchasing will be given to:

  1. Items that have been rented for instructional use within the past two years.
  2. Items that can be used by more than one department.
  3. Items that will be shown to large numbers of students or shown regularly to smaller classes.
  4. Items that are used more than one quarter per year.
  5. Items that have been previewed by the requestor.
  6. Items requested by departments that have not had request filled in the past year.
  7. Items in subject areas that are not available in print format.
  8. Items of general interest that would also be used by the community.

Requests must be received by the COCC Barber Library by the third Friday of each term. Funds not encumbered within each departmental allocation by the third week Spring Term deadline will join a general pool, from which orders will be taken first come first serve.  Please send requests to Linda Skladal, Barber Library, or if you have questions please call Linda at extension 4371.
