About the Apparel Product Design and Merchandising Collection

 

Consists of approximately 10,000 books and 58 current periodicals concerning apparel product design and merchandising as well as many more books and periodicals in related fields.

Coordination of Collecting Responsibilities

In addition to its own literature, the Department of Family and Consumer Science draws on the materials of such disciplines as American Studies, business and marketing, art, anthropology, psychology, religion, sociology, theatre and dance, nursing, social work and women's studies.

Apparel Product Design and Merchandising faculty and students have found useful the library and museum collections available at the following depositories: Bishop Museum, State Department of Business and Economic Development, U.S. Customs, Hawaii State Archives, Hawaiian Historical Society, Hawaiian Mission Children's Society, and Lyman House Memorial Museum.

Guidelines to Materials Collected or Excluded

Language: Primarily English. Some Asian language materials are selected for the apparel product design and merchandising program.

Chronological: No limitations, although current imprints are emphasized.

Geographic: No limitations, although the family resources program tends to focus on the United States, Hawai'i, the Pacific Basin, and Asia.

Date of Publication: No limitations, although the emphasis is on contemporary materials, especially for family resources.

Type/Format of Materials Collected: Books and serials in hard copy make up the largest part of the collection. Government documents and audiovisual materials are also collected. Dissertations are rarely acquired.

Treatment: For the Apparel Product Design and Merchandising program, "how-to" books are rarely collected; arts and crafts material is limited to historical, ethnic and theoretical. Family resources seeks legal, political, and economic aspects, business social and management aspects, professional and applied training approaches, and popular culture, customs and folklore.

Major Microform Holdings: The Human Relations Area Files (HRAF) are of use to both apparel product design and merchandising and family resources programs for its cross-cultural approach.
