Subject Librarians

    Librarians at West Virginia University are responsible for collection development in specific subject areas. They serve as liaisons for the various departments and disciplines within the University.

    Faculty are encouraged to be involved in collection development by talking with the Librarian for their subject area about their needs and making suggestions for library purchases. In some cases departments or colleges may have a designated faculty liaison or faculty committee that makes the contact with the library for collection development issues. Faculty may contact their department’s subject liaison if they have questions about the way information and requests typically come to the library from their department.

    Anyone can make a suggestion about materials they would the library to purchase. The subject Librarians are responsible for selection and will make the final decision on all purchases based on availability of funds and the balance of the collection with the research needs of the faculty, support of the curriculum, and current trends in the discipline.
