France is the primary country of the collection but Francophone materials from Canada, Africa, Belgium, Switzerland and the Caribbean are also collected.
The time span covered by the collection begins with the rise of French as a separate language and continues to the present.
Currently published materials are the primary materials collected. New critical editions are preferred to popular editions. Retrospective publications are acquired infrequently.
French is the primary language of collection. English translations are also acquired, preferably when we have or can secure a text in the original language. Material in French dialects is added to the collection rarely. Critical works will be acquired in French and English and occasionally in other languages as well.
Standard scholarly editions and popular editions of literary works of all major and most minor authors constitute the basis of the collection. Periodicals of the French language and literature and some newspapers are also acquired. Critical works, both general and concerning particular periods, genres, movements, authors or individual works are bought as well as biographies of literary figures and studies of backgrounds and influences. Electronic resources (reference material, full text collections of literary works) will be increasingly added to the collection. Microfilms are bought rarely, only when significant works are not available in other media. Theses/dissertations and audio-visual material are bought only by the request of the faculty.
