Electrical and Computer Engineering Collection Development Policy: LSU Libraries

Electrical and Computer Engineering

Collection Development Policy Statement

Library's Collection Development Objectives

Provide support for programs of study leading to the bachelor's, master's and doctorate degree levels. Assist extensive departmental computing facilities research in the areas of semiconductors (The Solid State Laboratory); silicon chip design; modeling and fabrication (VLSI Systems Laboratory); electronic circuit design ( The Power Electronics Laboratory); and automatic control and signal processing (The Systems Laboratory). The department is also associated with research through the Center for Advanced Micro structures and Devices (CAMD) and the Remote Sensing and Engineering Processing Lab facilities.

Curriculum Program Descriptions

Electrical and computer engineering students receive a thorough foundation in mathematics, physics, and engineering concepts and design. The department supports the Interdepartmental M.S. and Ph.D. degree programs in Engineering Science.

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.
