The library is intended to be a place where all of its users can study, do research, browse books, use computers and generally go about their business in a non-threatening environment.

本政策声明中提到的材料可以定义为那些用于支持和丰富课程的项目，并为学生选择, faculty and staff of the college and residents of the county.

Selection of materials, because of enlarging curriculum and the publishing of new materials, is a continuous process; therefore, materials are selected by qualified personnel consisting of instructors, librarians, and administrators through individual or committee study and recommendations.  The authority for the final selection resides with the Director of Library Services.  主任将鼓励教师参与材料选择和废弃材料的回收.

Materials will be selected according to the following principles:

1. To provide materials that will enrich and support the curriculum, taking into consideration the varied interests, abilities, and maturity levels of the students served.
2. To provide materials that will encourage personal and intellectual growth in knowledge, literary appreciation, diverse views and other intellectual stimulation.
3. 提供背景资料，使学生能更好地作出明智的决定.
4. 对有争议的问题提出不同的观点，培养学生批判性阅读和思考的能力.
5. To provide materials representative of many religious, ethnic, and cultural groups and their contributions to our American heritage.
6. 以知识自由的原则为指导，以确保全面的收藏适合用户和图书馆的使命宣言.

The following evaluative criteria will be used:

1. 适合教育的材料，以及对学科发展至关重要的材料.
2. Materials that have been well researched and thoughtful in presentation.
3. Materials which are considered to have literary aesthetic value.
4. Materials whose value is enduring and/or timely.
5. Authors should be considered competent and qualified in the field.
6. 涉及争议性问题的材料由问题的双方以深思熟虑的方式表现出来.

捐赠或者遗赠给图书馆的材料，按照与购买材料相同的标准进行评估和验收. 所有接受的材料将成为学院的财产，并遵守图书馆的分发规则, housing, and disposal. If gifts or bequests prove to be duplicates or materials already owned, the Director shall make arrangements to dispose of them in accordance with this policy.

Withdrawal of Materials

In consultation with appropriate personnel, the following materials may be withdrawn from the collection and discarded or exchanged:

1. Obsolete materials:  subjects that become dated quickly and outdated;
   Information that can be misleading; e.g., encyclopedias, directories, travel, geography, science, careers, medicine.
2. Superfluous duplicates.
3. Badly worn or defaced volumes for which there are suitable replacements;
   e.g., dirty, brittle or yellowed pages, books with missing pages or broken spines.
4. Materials not pertinent to the collection and that are not standard titles.
5. Materials no longer considered accurate or factual, and which have no historical value.
6. 2年内未追回的报失物料，在库存记录中注明“收回”.

Censorship

图书馆资料的选择是基于使用者的阅读权和不受他人审查的自由.  Many books are controversial, and any given item may offend some persons.  Selections for this library will not, however, be made on the basis of anticipated approval or disapproval, 而仅仅是根据材料的优点，与馆藏建设和服务读者的利益有关.  图书馆认为审查纯属个人事务，并宣称虽然任何人都可以自由选择自己的阅读材料, one does not have the right to restrict the freedom of others.

质疑大学图书馆某些材料是否合适的个人应该提出他们的批评, in writing, to the Director of Library Services.  The criticism should identify objectionable items in books, periodicals, or publications, 并解释为什么你觉得这个项目不符合图书馆的选材标准.

应该考虑整个工作，而不仅仅是断章取义的陈述或部分.
