LIBRARY
Library Course Assessments
The Library participates in the course approval process for new courses at both the undergraduate and graduate
levels. By Senate motion
(S. 93-11) "no new course should be approved by Senate until funding has been
committed for necessary
library materials. II A Library review should be conducted after new course proposals have
been approved by the department or school curriculum committee, before being considered by the Faculty
curriculum committee. New courses will not be approved at the
Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies
(SCUS)
or Senate Graduate Studies Committee (SGSC) until a Library review has been completed. Even if the
department states that no new library resources are required, a report from the Library is required
to confirm this
view.
To submit course proposals for review by the Library, forward the following materials to Gwen Bird, Associate
University Librarian, Collections
Services:
•
course proposal forms
• complete course outline
• reading list created for the course, if any
• date of Faculty curriculum committee meeting (or other deadline for library report)
An assessment will be done to evaluate whether the Library's holdings and present collection development
activities are adequate to support the new course.
If no new library resources are required, the course will be
added to the appropriate list below indicating the library is adequately resourced to support the course.
If additional library resources are required, a full report will be created and linked below, and the associated costs
will be identified. The costs may be one-time, to fill gaps in holdings, or ongoing, for example. to start new journal
subscriptions, or sustain book collecting in areas not now included in the Library's collection scope. If costs are
attached, the department or school is asked to transfer the required funds to the Library's materials budget.
Questions about the process can be directed to Gwen Bird.
No Additional Library Resources Required
Unless otherwise indicated, these courses require no additional library resources based on a course location of
SFU Burnaby. In many cases, if the courses were to be offered at SFU Surrey or Vancouver or as off-campus
courses,
additional Library costs might be involved. Please contact Gwen Bird for details.
