They are listedbelow with the respective costs for 2011 in Table 7-4. The library also has the IEEEXplore All-Society Periodicals Package (ASPP) to support the <strong>LUEE</strong> program.The librarian who serves as the liaison to the College of Engineering coordinates bookselection for each of the engineering departments. Each department has a libraryrepresentative who assists in gathering and prioritizing requests. Before cancelingjournal subscriptions, the librarians conduct a careful evaluation in cooperation with thedesignated <strong>LUEE</strong> representative. Librarians routinely check “core” lists and specialbibliographies to ensure that limited resources are used as effectively as possible.46

The Library’s combined expenditure for all database subscriptions in 2011 was$909,291.62. In recent years, the Library has concentrated more on Web-based resources,which offer more efficient search capabilities, as well as remote access. It is difficult toaccount specifically on the expenditures for e-books in support of Engineering andrelated fields, since our e-books are largely purchased in multi-disciplinary sets.However, the library did purchase specific e-book subject sets in engineering in 2010,including $11,830 from Springer and $13,955 from Elsevier. These expenditures are inaddition to the print and electronic expenditures reported above.Location and Arrangement of the Engineering CollectionsAll engineering materials housed in the Gray Library are classified and arranged by theLibrary of Congress classification system. The Library has an integrated online computersystem, SIRSI/Dynix, which provides access to all print materials and specific segmentsof electronic resources available in the collection. All electronic resources are availablevia secure log-in through the databases section of the library webpage(http://library.lamar.edu). The building is centrally located on campus with referencematerials and a reference computer lab on the first floor, and current journals andgovernment documents on the second floor. Floors 3-5 are stack floors, and a mediaservices unit, a hands-on classroom, and a computer lab are located on the 7 th floor.Engineering materials include monographs, journals, state and federal documents, andcollections of codes, standards, and annual reports of corporations.Reference services available to students and facultyThere are four reference librarians and one documents/reference librarian who providereference service. The reference desk is staffed at all hours when the library is open—atotal of 95.5 hours each week. A paraprofessional also assists with the provision of47
