Collection Policy for POLITICAL SCIENCE

General Purpose

The main goal for purchasing in this area is to provide library resources for undergraduate and graduate instruction as well as student and faculty research in political science. Since everyone is living under some form of government, a secondary goal is to provide resources related to elections and candidates for the university community as well as civics for the layperson. Globalization, study abroad, and international origins of ISU faculty, staff, students also point to the need to collect resources beyond U.S. politics and to maintain an awareness of current international politics.
