The Resource & Discovery Services Department is composed of Acquisitions, Cataloging, Processing, Serials, and Mailroom Services. We procure all library materials including print, electronic, and audio-visual, assure that they are cataloged, processed and available to faculty and patrons quickly. We manage all mail and deliveries for the Hunt building, renew all print and electronic subscriptions, handle licensing and contracts for materials and establish and maintain access to all material in the Library catalog. We are responsible for budgeting and managing the Library materials budget, creating financial, usage statistics and various material related reports. Our logistical specialties ensure a smooth operation of all requirements for our large student body and busy faculty.
