Acquisitions Guide

To facilitate collection building, each academic department has an appointed faculty library representative and a corresponding subject liaison librarian, who manages an annual discretionary fund for the purchase of books and other resources. Consult with your department’s faculty representative about the procedures for placing requests.

View list of Subject Liaisons

Faculty may submit materials requests through the subject liaison librarian or the faculty library representative. Faculty, students and staff may also place requests for any resource both within and outside their discipline, including streaming video licenses, via the New Library Resource Request form.

Please note that due to budgeting and licensing constraints, not all resource requests are fulfillable. Please consider making resource requests with a minimum grace period of 2-3 weeks to allow for shipping and processing.

Faculty may request new subscriptions via the Resource Request Form. Requests must be endorsed by the faculty library representative and submitted to the subject liaison librarian. Requests are considered periodically throughout the year.
