The library relies heavily upon the subject expertise of our faculty to keep our collections as up to date and relevant to your students as possible. We welcome any recommendations for materials to add to our collections, both book and media. It is also just as important to remove old and outdated materials from our collection and we strongly encourage faculty to "weed" those areas of the collection pertinent to their disciplines. The above link can be used to make recommendations for the collections or you can e-mail recommendations to weeksd@daytonastate.edu. or call 386.506.3593 to find out more about how you can keep our resources working for you.

| Continuous Quality Improvement |

| The Daytona State Library Services Department believes very strongly in continuous quality improvement and welcomes any suggestions, recommendations, or concerns that will help us improve our services and resources. The Library Advisory Committee is a committee made up of faculty representatives from each department that helps us do just that. If you would like to become involved with this committee or meet individually with your ideas, we would like to talk to you. Please call Mercedes Clement, Head Librarian at 386.506.3440 or e-mail clemenm@daytonastate.edu |
