Duplication policy
Generally, the Libraries will add duplicate(s) to the collections in the following cases:
- Demand is sufficiently heavy to justify duplication
- Basic reference or bibliographic material that is essential in more than one location
- Add a second gift copy if original is actively circulating or falling apart
Replacement policy
The libraries will use the following criteria to assess replacement of damaged, missing, or lost materials:
- Continuing value of the material
- Continuing demand for the material
- Extent of coverage of the subject in the existing collection
- Availability of newer or better material in the field
- Cost of replacement
