The E. S. Farley Library is dedicated to providing comprehensive support of the University needs. The collections in the library are based on the current instructional and research requirements of all Wilkes-affiliated uses (students, staff, administration, and alumni). The purpose of this policy is to provide assistance in the development, enhancement, and management of the library collections. As the needs of the University change, so too, should this collection development policy change.
Questions regarding this policy can be directed to Heather Alexander, Technical Services Librarian, at heather.alexander1@wilkes.edu or 570-408-4258.
