Electronic Resources:
Electronic resources have become a major focus of the Management Library collections. The importance of current information and the availability of business information in electronic format has supported this initiative. The Library supports 1) access to remote commercial business information services, 2) CD ROM subscriptions to bibliographic numerical and textual resources, and 3) network mounted bibliographic files. The Library's electronic resources benefit from gifts- in-kind (Bloomberg, Bridge Information and First Call)Documents:
The Library has strong holdings document serials and periodicals relating to trade, economic and business conditions including industry regulation. The focus is on United States and regional international organizations (UN., OECD) publications rather that individual countries. Duplication with other Cornell collections is monitored carefully. Document monographs, hearings and reports are collectively very selectively. Management relies on other Cornell collections for access to these documents.Geographical Information:
English language materials are purchased from around the world. As business has become more global, so has the Management Library collection. In all areas of concentration, materials with an international perspective have been collected. The collection reflects the increasing interest in international business. Information on international corporations is actively collected. In the past the collections focused on the industrialized nations. In recent years this have been expanded to include emerging economies. Two of the Library's endowments support collecting of international materials. In general the collection focuses on the international aspects of business and management particularly multinational corporations. Foreign language materials are collected by area bibliographers and curators in Olin and Kroch Libraries.Exclusions:

The Management duplicates monographs based on anticipated need for multiple copies.Notes:
Preservation microfilm is purchased when funds are available.
