How Academic Support Librarians make decisions about collections and how you can get support with library collections

How Academic Support Librarians make decisions about collections

  • We work in line with the The University of Edinburgh Library Collections Strategy.
  • We work in consultation with the Academic Library Representatives from each School or College to ensure Schools and Colleges have the library materials they need
  • We work in partnership with College Library & Information Strategy Committees to ensure that library budgets are effectively and appropriately used
