The Valparaiso Campus Library strives to offer a wide variety of resources that reflect various viewpoints. You can view our Collection Development Policy, which outlines the selection process, below.
We encourage faculty, students, and staff to make recommendations thorough interactive displays. Faculty can make purchase requests using this form found in the Faculty Resources section of the Valparaiso Library website.
