Collection Information for Library Liaison Officers
Each academic department has a designated person to act as their Library Liaison Officer (LLO). It is a voluntary role, and the person selected to undertake the responsibilities is organised by the department.

Recommendations to purchase: email John Arnold (Subject Librarian for Mathematics and Statistics) for books, journals* and databases*
- Journals and databases undergo an annual review process (normally in July) in which new resources with an ongoing financial commitment are considered. The Library considers new recommendations for subscription submitted at other times during the year on a case-by-case basis

The Library Committee
The Library Committee is a committee of the Academic Board who report activities on a regular basis to the Vice-Chancellor and the Academic Board. Meetings are on the first Friday of each month
