ANNUAL DEPARTMENTAL EVALUATION AND FACULTY REQUESTS

FTCC's faculty play an important role in collection development of both the main campus library and the public library serving the Spring Lake campus.  Designated faculty from each department are required to visit the library and review sections of the print collection relevant to their areas of expertise on an annual basis.  Generally, this is accomplished during the time allotted for departmental activities when the faculty return from the summer break.  If you are a faculty member participating in collection review on the main campus, please visit the circulation desk on the library's second floor and ask for one of our seasoned Librarians to assist you.  Spring Lake faculty must visit the Spring Lake branch of the Cumberland County Public Library and ask for FTCC Liaison Librarian Megan Rudolph.  The library is located beside the Spring Lake campus.  Faculty participating in collection review will need the following forms and guides during their visit:

Instructions for Annual Departmental Evaluation of Library Collection

Annual Departmental Evaluation of Library Collection

Library of Congress Clasification Guide (Main Campus only)

Print versions of these forms are also available at the 2nd floor circulation desk on the main campus.

Faculty requests and suggestions for our print collection are strongly encouraged, and are given the highest priority when funds are available. The form provided below must be filled out and can be sent through interoffice mail or e-mailed to main campus Librarian Tammy Stewart at: stewartt@faytechcc.edu.
