===== Collection Development =====

EnggLib actively works hand in hand with the Faculty Members through the '''Library Faculty Committee'''. The Library Faculty Committee in a way dictates the direction and composition of the EnggLib’s collection because Faculty Members decides on the allocation of funds in terms of print and electronic acquisition ratio.<ref>{{cite book|title=UP College of Engineering Library Annual Report 2012|date=2013|publisher=UP College of Engineering Library|location=Diliman, Quezon City|pages=14,31}}</ref>
Collection building is being aggressively promoted by conducting a bi-annual '''Engineering Book Fair''' so as to make selection easier for faculty members.<ref>{{cite web|title=News: Book Fair|url=http://www.engglib.upd.edu.ph/index.php/news/58-bookfair|work=UP College of Engineering Library Website|publisher=UP College of Engineering Library|accessdate=12 March 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=The 5th EnggLib Academic Book Fair|url=http://blog.engglib.upd.edu.ph/?p=4814|work=Orange Network Blog|publisher=UP College of Engineering Library|accessdate=14 March 2014}}</ref> The use of '''[[electronic mailing lists]]'''  wherein lists of books for selection, which have been formatted to contain links to online descriptions, is also effective -- helping faculty members to simultaneously browse book titles, evaluate their content online, and send their purchase recommendations to the library in real time.<ref>{{cite book|title=UP College of Engineering Library Annual Report 2012|date=2013|publisher=UP College of Engineering Library|location=Diliman, Quezon City|page=14}}</ref>
Another notable partnership with faculty members is the '''Kapihan sa Aklatan'''.<ref>{{cite web|title=News: EnggLib Holds its 5th Kapihan sa Aklatan|url=http://www.engglib.upd.edu.ph/v1/index.php/news/52-engglib-holds-its-5th-kapihan-sa-aklatan|work=UP College of Engineering Library Website|publisher=UP College of Engineering Library|accessdate=12 March 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Kapihan sa Aklatan 2013|url=http://blog.engglib.upd.edu.ph/?p=9183|work=Orange Network Blog|publisher=UP College of Engineering Library|accessdate=12 March 2014}}</ref>  It is an annual library orientation and forum to inform the new faculty members on the use of library resources, facilities, and collections, assist them to discover subject-specific and multidisciplinary electronic resources, and update them with the features of upcoming online resources of the library.<ref>{{cite book|title=UP College of Engineering Library Annual Report 2012|date=2013|publisher=UP College of Engineering Library|location=Diliman, Quezon City|pages=14,34}}</ref>
