Importing of A/V materials

by SWAN Communications

There has been some recent discussion regarding the import of A/V materials not available in the United States. Please take a look at a new documentation page on our Support Site regarding this practice: https://support.swanlibraries.net/documentation/89579 We are also interested in garnering more feedback on this topic. We've started a thread in the SWAN forums if you would like to weigh in: https://forums.swanlibraries.net/t/importing-a-v-materials/1016 Finally, we are interested in collecting examples of library collection policy on imports to share with the membership. If you are interested in submitting your policy, please send a ticket to help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net>.
