Books
Books recommended for purchase must support the learning and teaching of courses offered by SUTD or, to support research work. As the Library adopts a go-digital strategy, electronic versions of books will be purchased to allow access anytime-anywhere. To ensure fair access to all, recommended course texts acquired in printed form will be classified as Reference for referral in the library only.
Serials / Journals
Serials and journals are publications that are issued in successive parts. Like books, these are acquired to support learning, teaching and research in SUTD. Electronic versions are preferred over printed versions for easier access and savings in storage and processing. With the exception of serials on architecture, all printed serials are discarded after 2 years.
Electronic Resources
Electronic resources include e-books, databases, online videos, e-journals. These are acquired to support learning, teaching and research in SUTD. Subscription to electronic resources is subject to approval from the Advisory Committee for Library and Information Services and availability of funds among other criteria. E-Resources will be evaluated annually. E-resources on subscription may be terminated if usage is continuously low or have been decreasing or when the contents no longer support courses offered.
