Collection Development Policy Statement: International Combined  

Curricular/Research/Programmatic needs:

As more university research and interests gains a more international focus, it is essential that the MSU Libraries have the necessary collection to meet user needs. President Lou Anna Simon has defined MSU as a world grant institution instead of land grant institution. Many colleges and departments have an international interest and international is a well diversified area and not easy to define. The Libraries own collection reflects this own variety. It is a interdisciplinary area that is made up of various funds and subjects including:

• International Business
• International Development
• Various Area Specific collections including but not limited to
  
  • Africana/African Studies
    
  • Asian Studies
    
  • European Studies
    
  • Latin American & Caribbean Studies
  • Russia, Eastern Europe, & Central Asia Studies
  • Canadian Studies
  • French Studies

Each collection has its own fund and selector. See for other collection development polices: http://www.lib.msu.edu/about/collections/policy.jsp.
