Collection Development

The CIA Library welcomes the participation of the faculty; the quality of the collection depends on your contribution of subject expertise in selecting books to purchase. To assist in reviewing books for purchase, the library can provide notifications for new publications in specific subject disciplines. The Library staff are happy to meet with departments and individual faculty to discuss acquisition of materials for courses, programs and disciplines.
