Collection Strategies oversees the development and management of library collections. Collection strategists and subject librarians work within discipline-based collection groups to strategically plan and implement policies and programs.The mission of the Collections Strategies unit is to create an inclusive environment in the collections it considers for purchase (or use) in all its available formats so that all patrons can access, interpret, and create scholarly resources of excellence within a faith-based academic institution following the University Library Collection Development & Management Policy.
The Azusa Pacific University Library collections are interdisciplinary and support the APU academic programs. In addition to more than 400,000 print volumes, the collections include manuscripts, sound recordings, cartography, and digital resources. The Library collaborates with SCELC to acquire and provide access to the broadest range of resources.
