As of last month, I have taken over responsibility for selecting professional literature from Kate Harcourt. I encourage any and all suggestions for additions to the collection. Please email me if you find resources you believe would benefit CUL’s professional staff in the field of library and information science. (Books on highly specific subjects which would reside with you and/or your department should be purchased on administrative funds…ask your department head!)
The following is a list of recent acquisitions of interest to CUL librarians, information professionals, and staff. All of the titles below are in Butler stacks. Look for a list of new titles in each issue of Inside CUL.
