countries of East and South-East Asia and the nations of the Asia Pacific
area.
4. Does material become dated
in this field? If so, how farback is material generally significant?
Text books and journal articles become dated. Material more than 10 years old
is generally not purchased, but serious monographs are retained.

English, with certain exceptions.

major relevance

7. Topics of related interest
which are not yet being supported from this School's book funds, either
because there is
not yet an extensive program in this area or because it is felt that
another school should buy in this field.
In areas where the study of Economics overlaps with other subject disciplines,
it is assumed that the Schools concerned with those disciplines are selecting
material that will support such study. Schools likely to be most affected
by those overlaps are :-
Aeronautical, Civil and Mechanical Engineering (Project Management)
Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (Information Systems)
Physical, Environmental and Mathematical Sciences (Social Geography)
Humanities and Social Science (History and Politics)
In addition, the Engineering Schools are assisting in the selection
of material in support of Economics of Technological Innovation,
and in the teaching of Operations Research.
8. Gaps in the Library Collection, including electronic
resources, which should be amended when funds permit
9. Bibliographic Control
The Journal of Economic Literature is the major source for the school
both in literature searches and in book selection. Other sources for selection
are :-
Economic Books (Pittsburgh)
Publishers' catalogues, e.g. Economist Bookshop and Heffer, etc.
Economic Abstracts
Management bibliographic reviews
Asian-Pacific economic literature
