Looking for something to read? The library has a rotating selection of recently published books in its Hot off the Press (HOTP) Collection!
The most recent additions to the Hot Off the Press collection are located on the rotating display shelf in the entrance of the I.D. Weeks Library. The rest of the collection is shelved at the west end of the first floor. All Hot Off the Press books can be checked out for four weeks by anyone with a USD ID or community borrower card.
The HOTP committee selects and manages this leased collection of current reading material to support the leisure reading interests of the USD community. Each month committee members make suggestions for books to include in the collection and vote on the nominations to decide what to order. Selections include fiction and non-fiction titles published within the last two months, and the committee strives to include everything from history to science fiction to sports to mystery and suspense to technology.
Each title is leased for one year, and at the end of the lease period the library is allowed to keep 20% of the leased titles for the main collection. The committee evaluates each book at the end of the year to decide which books to keep, keeping in mind factors such as whether a book could be useful for a specific department and the authority of the author.
