We purchase titles that fit within our collection development policy - once upon a time proactively, but now mostly on request - and add them to our circulating collection. We treat them the same as other purchased hard copy titles. Occasionally, we’ll purchase titles that don’t fit within our CD policy, for our primary clientele of employees of the State of Alaska, if they aren’t available through interlibrary loan. In the former case, we purchase paper. The latter is rare, and we would select the least expensive option. We don’t host any online.

Subject: [ALCTS-acqnet] Print Dissertations and Theses question
Good afternoon,
We are reviewing our library policy vis-à-vis access to dissertations and theses from academic institutions other than our own.
Does your library collect print-on-demand copies of dissertations and theses from UMI/ProQuest? Why or why not?
If you do collect dissertations and theses, how doe you process them? Do you catalog them?
Do you provide online access to dissertations and theses from other institutions?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Amy C.
