Collection additions in FY17

Collection Management works to build unique and dynamic collections of national significance to support all areas of scholarship at Virginia Tech. We regularly assess usage of our resources as we seek to maximize the value of our subscriptions and reflect emerging areas of research at the university. Through prudent management of our budget we replace declining resources with new and requested resources. And, with one-time or end-of-year money we purchase archives to fill-in collection gaps. We do this to improve access and expand the breadth and depth of the collection, and to save space by replacing and supplementing print resources with online.  During the 2017 fiscal year, Collection Management added over 100 new e-resources to the collection, review the list of linked titles below to explore.
