Augustana College, a four year liberal arts institution with 2400 students, has an ACS accredited Chemistry department that routinely integrates literature research into their curriculum. In the past five years, Tredway Library at Augustana College has significantly changed its chemistry collection practices to meet the current and future researching needs of our students. This presentation provides a model for other small libraries to maximize their budgets by giving examples of effective faculty/librarian collaboration in assignment design, database selection, and reference collection purchases.
