Abstract: Over the course of a year 98 syllabi were collected from history English philosophy religion and foreign literatures and languages departments at a large university in the Southeast. The syllabi were analyzed for potential additions to the print collection. In addition to the syllabus study a survey was conducted of all faculty in those departments to establish their views towards syllabi and the library’s place in providing access to items on syllabi.
