Aquisitions

Any patron or library staff person can submit a web page for addition to ACORN to Anne Womack, Collections Librarian.  The web page will be evaluated by the bibliographer according to the following criteria.  The bibliographer will share this evaluation with Anne.  Anne will then decide whether to add the title to the collection.  In most cases, web sites should either be portal sites of significant links or contain significant full text documents.  Only currently maintained, substantial, scholarly websites should be considered.  If the site meets these criteria, the bibliographer will fill out the following form and give it to Anne Womack.

Issues to consider when selecting an Internet Web page

• Important for the program area? Which program area?

• What are the contributions that this web site would make to our collection?

• How long has the web page existed?  When was it last updated?

• Who maintains the site?  If it has institutional support, it i much more likely that it may continue for several years.

• Does the site include significant full text content?  If so, what kind?  (monographic, article level, etc.

• Is there a cost associated with it?  (membership, etc.)

• Password/subscription needed?

• Is it cataloged in WorldCat?

FORM FOR SUBMITTING WEBSITES FOR CATALOGING - give completed form to  Anne Womack upon completion.  Anne will use the form to create a local record in SIRSI. These records will remain as local records for one year, at which time a report will indicate collection review of the website. [how will the records be flagged?] If the collection librarian determines that the website should have permanent record status in OCLC, this will be indicated to the cataloger.
