We are always integrating digital collections into reference, bibliographic instruction, and into research. In the past, this
might have been described as “format blind”—using the best resources for the appropriate purpose. Now it is also a
commitment to providing access and discovery tools. This is part of our strategic plan as a library.
We integrate digital and analog collections into research/teaching/learning simultaneously there is no separate policy
for digital specifically.
