New Acquisitions Fiscal Year 2012
Final 2012 fiscal reports for Princeton University Library have been released. While the attached list of acquisitions includes only items received during fiscal year 2012 (actual dates: July 2011 – June 2012) I am posting this list FY2012SAsiaAcquisitions as representative of the diversity of materials ordered on the South Asia fund over the course of one year. A few caveats: this list represents only a subset of materials relating to South Asia at Princeton; that is, those items specifically paid for with the South Asia fund. And it also excludes items received via Library of Congress program shipments. All of these titles should be available for search and check out in the Princeton University Library catalog. The list includes monographs, standing orders, and video recordings.
