Industrial And Manufacturing Systems Engineering
Collection Development Policy Statement
Library's Collection Development Objectives
Provide support for research at the bachelor's and master's degree levels. An application for the Ph.D. with a major in industrial engineering is pending before the Louisiana Board of Regents. The program relies on the application of rigorous mathematical and logical approaches to theoretical and practical problem solving in traditional engineering activities. Support concentrations in manufacturing systems, operations research, and technical administration.
Curriculum Program Descriptions
The discipline of industrial engineering involves the synthesis and application of scientific principles to the design, installation, and improvement of integrated systems of people, materials, and equipment to provide efficient and effective operating and work environments. 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.
