Collection Development

Collection Development at Oberlin is a collaborative effort involving librarians, faculty members, and students.

Liaison Librarians

Liaison librarians coordinate efforts in assigned subject areas and collaborate with faculty on materials selection, budget management, and collection management issues.

Faculty should use these forms:

Books, Scores, and Films

Students and others may also recommend purchases.
