Criteria for purchase
DTU Library will decide - within the set financial frame - whether DTU should own the information resource or whether the material should be obtained through interlibrary collaboration.
We evaluate all proposals for purchase according to the following criteria:
- DTU Library primarily acquires information resources relevant to research and teaching at DTU.
- As a rule, we acquire the material in electronic form for the use of all of DTU.
- In general, DTU Library only acquires recent electronic
information resources i.e. published within the last five years.
However, evaluating requests on a case-by-case basis, taking both price
and demand into consideration, we may make exceptions to this rule.
- DTU Library primarily acquires information resources in English or Danish.
