Liaison Librarians are busy creating Subject Level Collection Statements which indicate collection strengths across around 39 subject areas. These statements will describe how the Library’s collections support the learning, teaching and research needs of scholars in each subject discipline. Each statement will be used to develop the collection, to inform the acquisition of new resources and, where appropriate, to inform decisions on withdrawals from the collection. They augment the Information Resources policy which outlines the overarching principles and general framework that informs the strategies and procedures related to the Library’s information resources.

When completed and agreed with members of the Academic department the Subject Level Collection Statements will be found with the Library’s policies. The Mâori Classroom Collection and Te Kohikohika Mâori statement is the first one to be agreed and added to the website and others will be added in due course.
