Collection Development Policy Statement
Library's Collection Development Objectives
Support faculty and student research at the undergraduate, master's and Ph.D. levels, with areas of concentration in Environmental Engineering as related to rededication and transport modeling, Kinetics and Reaction Engineering, Thermodynamics, Materials Science, Polymer Processing, Process Control and Catalysis. The Department is consistently among the top 20 in the nation in sponsored research. Opportunities for research are enhanced through the department's association with the EPA's Hazardous Substance Resource Center for the South and Southwest established in 1991, the Hazardous Waste Research Center, and the Louisiana Transportation Research Center.
Curriculum Program Descriptions
The undergraduate curriculum is concerned primarily with fundamentals, and basic courses in mathematics, chemistry, and chemical engineering. The graduate program includes the core courses: mathematical methods, thermodynamics, transport phenomena and reactor design. The department supports the Interdepartmental M.S. and Ph.D. degree programs in Engineering Science.

Areas of Specialization/Research
New and Expanding Areas of Interest
CD ROMs, Electronic Books, Remotely Accessed Texts
LSU Libraries will purchase CD ROM works on a case by case basis when requested by faculty members or graduate students in need of enhanced capabilities afforded by CD ROMs. The LSU Libraries recognizes that electronic information, e-books, electronic paper, etc. merit attention. The purchase of access to remote data and texts, such as J-STOR and others, will be pursued when the ownership of remote products will benefit the greatest number of students, staff, and faculty at the best possible price. Purchase of remotely accessed texts must follow the policy and procedures set forth in Procedures for Acquiring and Processing Electronic Resources.
