5. Strategic investments in response to changes in research and publication practices (e.g. open access publishing, digital preservation)
6. Purchase of print monographs through an approval plan.
7. Coverage of areas of emerging interest that may be included in future research and instructional programs.
Measures: D4, D5, D8
Outcome D4:
Maintain commitment to, and investment in, non-ownership-based information-access strategies, such as:

5. Transformative strategies (e.g. open-access publication)
Measures: D3, D7, D8
Outcome D5:
The library will consider accepting gifts of materials that directly support instruction and research when such gifts provide a good return on the investment in funding, staff time, and space required to process and house them.
Measure: D9
