The Hunt Library selects materials in accordance with the established Collection Management Policy. Furthermore, the library endorses the principles set forth by the American Library Association in the Library Bill of Rights and the Freedom to Read Statement.
Our collection includes information resources that reflect a wide range of perspectives, selected for their scholarly, educational, or cultural value. Materials are chosen based on their merit and relevance, not on the popularity of their content or the personal background, beliefs, or viewpoints of the authors.
If you have concerns about a specific item in our collection, you may request a formal review by submitting a Reconsideration of Library Materials Form.
Reconsideration Process
- Complete and submit the Reconsideration of Library Materials Form.
- The Collection Management Team will review the request and the challenged material.
- A recommendation will be made and forwarded to the University Librarian for final review.
- You will receive a written decision within 30 days of submitting your request.
Note: Materials will remain available during the review process.
Final Decisions and Records
All decisions made through this process are final. Once an item has been reviewed and a determination made, it will not be eligible for further reconsideration.
A record of all requests, including the title, date of challenge, date resolved, and final outcome, is maintained by the Senior Associate Director for Collection Strategy & Technical Services and is available upon request.
