The faculty is encouraged to submit requests to the library for items to be purchased for the library's collection. Each division is allocated a certain amount of money from the library's materials budget. These funds are used to order materials that will support the curriculum in the division, as well as more general research needs. Faculty also provide input on the addition of research databases and journal subscriptions.

UNDERSTANDING AMERICA'S HERITAGE - Not sure this fourth goal is given the same atteention campus wide as the other three. It may be time for MNU to re-evaluate this as one of our primary goals. Also not sure what is meant by the "campus political clubs" that was mentioned. Have not heard of these in the years of my tenure. GENED does cover some of these American Heritage areas in course work (fine arts, second language, history, poiltical science, etc. . .) but not ever student is exposed to these courses.
