Collections
Cornell
University Library's collections are built and managed by a group
of more than forty selectors and curators (see selectors
by subject). The Department of Research & Learning Services is a key component of Cornell University Library's
decentralized collection development infrastructure. The Department
is home to ten of the librarians who select materials for the
Olin and Uris Library collections, which contain Cornell's largest
holdings in the humanities and social sciences.
Research & Learning Services represents collections and coordinates the efforts of selectors in collaboration
with Cornell's Associate University Librarian for Scholarly Resources and
Special Collections and in conjunction with the Library's subject-based selection
teams. The Department also provides certain administrative services
for collection development across the Cornell Library system.
