One of our primary missions at ZSR is to maintain a collection that supports the diverse research and teaching needs of WFU faculty and students. Each year, we purchase resources to fulfill that mission and meet the evolving needs of our community. This past academic year, we were able to add a variety of resources that reflect a range of topics, disciplines, and resource types to promote research, scholarly inquiry, and creative activity on campus. Here are the (non-book) resources we added over the past academic year:
