Newspapers are purchased to give local, metropolitan,

national, and international news coverage, and to represent
community or interest group viewpoints. Subscription

cancellation will be based on the same criteria. The library

maintains approximately 10 subscriptions. When a decision

to subscribe is made, the format (paper, microfiche, or

both) will also be determined. Decisions on periodical

subscriptions may be made by the Library Committee.

Anyone who requests a periodical subscription will be

notified of the decision. The Acquisitions Department is

responsible for all periodical processes, procedures, and
record-keeping. Once a periodical is processed and placed in

circulation (including display carousels), caretaking will be

assumed by the Circulation Department until discarding is

necessary.

d.2. Format

The format of a periodical subscription may be paper,

electronic, or microform. Format will be determined

when the subscription is first authorized but is subject to

review whenever appropriate.
