Purchase Requests for Library Materials

Librarians choose the books and other materials for the library collection, in support of the teaching and research needs of the University. In specific cases, the library has established approval plans whereby scholarly titles of major publishers are acquired automatically. A list of these publishers is available.

If you would like to recommend purchase of a title, there is an online purchase request form available for this purpose. Your request will be automatically forwarded to the librarian in charge of purchases for the subject matter of your request.

If you would like to speak with a librarian about your request, please choose from the list of subject librarians below for science and engineering materials or from the complete list of subject librarians for areas outside the sciences and engineering.
