At the time of publication, the FSCJ Libraries held a total of 142,109 physical items. Our librarians regularly assess their collections as a part of regular collection management. The LLC’s holdings are managed by each campus LLC’s Library Services team in collaboration with the Library Technical Services Coordinator. The physical collection is reviewed monthly for missing and lost items, and regular shelf-reading ensures items are in order. Inventory of our collection is conducted before program accreditation reviews and annually at each campus and center. This process is essential to collection management, as it identifies items for replacement, retention or deselection (weeding). The selection of materials is a collaborative process and reflects our diverse college community. Please see the Collection Development Policy at our LLC Policies Libguide.
