Welcome Faculty!
Welcome to the Gingrich Library. The Library is a partner in the college's mission of teaching, research and service, and provides assistance and leadership in the access and use of information. This website will provide you with the basic information about the Library and list the major services we provide to enhance your teaching and research endeavors. The Library also publishes a newsletter called the Library Link to keep you informed during the semester.

Library Liaisons
Each department has a librarian assigned as a library liaison to assist the teaching faculty in providing resources for the curriculum and in using all of the library services. Your liaison should be consulted if you are unsure who to contact or if you need assistance in any matter. Having a liaison does not stop you from contacting other library personnel directly if you know whom to call. The current library liaison assignments are:

*Administrative Coordinators support program level needs. Faculty needing course/departmental level support should confer with their departmental liaisons first.

Help Us Help You

	Collection Development
	The librarians and faculty have a joint responsibility in building the collection to support the curriculum. You have the opportunity to shape the collection by working with your library liaison and submitting orders for materials throughout the year. Please allow sufficient time to acquire, catalog and process the materials. Orders for the current fiscal year are accepted from June 1 until early March, with orders accepted after that date being processed after June 1. Each month, the items ordered from the previous month are displayed in Dewey Decimal order online for you to see what has been added in your subject area. Additional information on collection development is available online at http://albrightcollege/library/policies/collmgt.html. Orders should be submitted to your liaison or to Sandy Stump (610-921-7205).
	Faculty Advisory Committee
	The faculty governance structure provides access for input to the library through its Information Development Committee. This standing committee is designed to advise the library on major policies regarding the collection, facilities and services. Any faculty interested in participating in this committee should indicate this interest on the committee interest survey given at the end of the academic year.
