The librarian does background reading, reviews course directives and textbooks, interviews appropriate faculty members, and looks at similar bibliographies.
Our bibliographies are subject listings of non-restricted books, documents, articles, multimedia, and Internet resources. Bibliographies are considered "selected" bibliographies because they are tailored to include only holdings in our collection, or readily-accessible electronic sources.
Before a citation is included, it must be determined to be among the most current, comprehensive, and authoritative writings pertinent to the topic.
Our bibliographies usually focus on writings published two to five years prior to the date of compilation.
