The goal of collection development at Schaffer Library is to build a balanced collection to meet the information needs of the students and faculty at Union College. Identification, selection and evaluation of items for the collections are all functions of this office.
The collection development librarian reviews suggestions for new materials in all formats: print, video, microform, audio and electronic. They consult with faculty on the resources needed to support new course development. They receive offers of donations to the collection (gifts)

Digital scholarship is research and teaching that critically engages with data and computing technologies. Digital scholars employ computational tools and methods to extend knowledge production, dissemination, and preservation, while also uncovering technology’s limitations, biases, and misuses to create a more just and equitable digital world.

Librarians are available to help with all aspects of library research. They meet with students individually, in classes, or in informal groups to help students locate and use resources for research. We offer consultations with faculty members interested in research-based assignments, partnering to develop librarian-led instruction sessions, and developing online course resources.
