20. External Reference Materials
External reference materials are received and maintained by departments for the purpose of providing information to department faculty, staff, students, or the general public. Materials may include professional publications such as magazines or newsletters, pamphlets, brochures, booklets, and books. The materials come from a variety of places such as professional organizations, educational institutions, and federal and state government. External reference materials are not considered University records that have to be maintained to meet record keeping requirements.
Authorized Retention:
Retain in office until no longer of value as reference materials, then destroy. Reference materials may not be stored in the University Records Center.
