How does the Library spend the student library fee collected each semester?
Answer
Clemson Libraries uses a portion of the fees to cover personnel costs, maintain and add new technologies, and update furnishings in Cooper Library and our branch locations.
But the fees are primarily used for collections; specifically to pay for our subscriptions to hundreds of full-text journal databases on a variety of subjects; our membership in PASCAL, which provides us with access to our state-wide book search and delivery system; as well as purchasing books, e-books, and other scholarly materials.
