Abstract
Four years have passed since the University of Memphis Libraries began an organized acquisition of comic books as scholarly works. During that time, comic books become more accessible to academic libraries in general, thanks to increased production by publishers and innovations in cataloging. Faculty and student patrons along with librarians have responded affirmatively to the introduction of this resource into academic collections. So why is 2006 likely the end for comic books at the University of Memphis, and why does this case study have implications for collection trends in academic libraries?
