*LIST of Library Information: Collection Development Policy

The library uses the Library of Congress classification system for most of the collection.

All resource materials checked out may be recalled by the library.

BOOKS, DVDs, JOURNALS, ETC.:
All of the items available in the library can be found using the  Library Catalog. 

BOOKS on AUDIO CD: Type audio into the search box in our  Library Catalog, and select  from Format menu.

DVD disks are kept separately from jackets; bring DVD jacket to front desk to complete check out.

Magazines or journals: Current issues are for in-library-use-only. Older issues may be checked out.

RESERVES: Reserve materials are placed at the circulation desk. Most reserve materials are to be used in the library only, but some instructors do designate checkout opportunities. 

 The Library is not an archive, and we are not a research university.  Therefore, all items in the library should be "Program Specific, Popular, Current, or Classic".  If the Library buys an item in print, it will be housed in the Library. We also invest in  e-books, e-journals and other online resources in order to provide equitable resource access outside the physical library.

Suggestions may be submitted by faculty to library@fvtc.edu (Please provide as much information as possible - Author, Title, Publisher, Edition, Date, ISBN, Format and Cost.)
