Collection Services
Overview
Collection Services is responsible for ordering, receiving and cataloging all library materials including books, journals, music, DVDs, government documents and electronic resources.
Collection Services maintains the library catalog, CONSORT, as well as the physical collection of materials located in the stacks throughout the library.
Collection Services is a combined unit with the Denison University Library Technical Services Department. This collaborative effort grew out of rapid changes in the library field and the understanding that the increasing use of technology could assist us in being more productive in our work while having more time to focus on longer term projects and material backlogs. Technology is paving the way to make many of our tasks easier and we are making strides to take advantage of technology whenever possible. For more information, please see documents related to the Denison-Kenyon Work Redesign Project.

The office is located on 2nd floor Chalmers, and is regularly staffed Monday through Friday, 8:30-4:30.
