Scope and Purpose:
The Rubber Division fund exists for the collection of monographs and serials which are important to nearly comprehensive coverage of rubber and related polymer information in the University Libraries. These information materials cover both the theoretical and the practical aspects of rubber and polymer chemistry and technology as related to the mission of the University of Akron. This fund is supported by the Rubber Division of the American Chemical Society to assure coverage in rubber chemistry and technology literature regardless of specific curricular requirements of any department or unit.
Curriculum:
The selection of titles is not curriculum related since this fund exists to assure that coverage is given for information resources not necessarily related to the curricular needs of specific courses.
Geographical Coverage:
No geographical restrictions apply.
Language:
The language will usually be English, but is not restricted.
Period Coverage:
No period restrictions are imposed.
Publication Types:
Books and serials, conference proceedings, and technical standards are the publication types acquired on this fund.
Formats:
The format for materials on this fund is print or electronic (CD-Rom or Web based).
Remote Sources:
Usually no remote sources are considered for this collection since it is a special collection area for the University Libraries.
Exclusions:
Only rubber related materials will be acquired under this policy.
