Faculty Collection Development Grants

This is a great opportunity to "win" additional funding for your department. Please contact me if you are interested and I will work to fill out an application.


Albertsons Library awards competitive annual grants of up to $3,000.00 for the purchase of library materials in specified subject areas. The intent of these grants is to work with faculty members to identify areas of the collection in need of special attention. The goal is to promote the use of library resources by making collections more relevant to the coursework and research interests of faculty and students.

Who may apply? Applications are made by a team consisting of a library liaison and any one of the following:

• A department’s library representative

• An individual faculty member

• Groups of faculty members with a common interest in a scholarly discipline or an interdisciplinary topic

• An academic department

Eligible materials. Books (print or online) and other media (DVDs, CD-ROMs, scores, etc.) are eligible for purchase through this program. Due to ongoing costs, databases, journals and other serial titles are not eligible for these funds.
