Assessment of:   Suitability of existing library resources;  New library resources required to support the program;  Information skills education required by the students; and  Funds needed for library materials and services.  Please include:  1. What library holdings already exist in relevant subject categories, including supporting collections from HELIN. How much money is now allocated in the program area?          This is an area for which library material has been ordered since Prof. Swift introduced the topic into COM. It is also of interest and has materials funded from other department codes. Even w3ithout the current ease of borrowing from other college libraries in RI there should be adequate material available.  2. Does URI have the essential journals as noted in the Faculty Questionnaire?  No new titles are requested.  No specific titles are mentioned, but material has been added through the purchase of fulltext databases. Among those useful to this topic are Academic Search Premier, Communication Abstracts, Pubmed , PsycINFO (not PsycARTICLES), Education, Other databases such as business (ABI), nursing (CINAHL)  and ScienceDirect also have interesting titles.    3.

If students are new to this university’s sources, a session could be a benefial part of the class. Email support is also provided on a one2one basis,   5. What is the approximate cost to acquire the materials necessary? Which of these will be continuing costs?    No additional resources are expected at this time
