Book and media purchase requests may be submitted to Raymie Barker in the library's Acquisitions Department. These requests should be submitted using our Purchase Request Form, but may also be submitted via email, campus mail, or in person. Raymie will inform you and/or your library liaison by email when your selections are available. Likewise, librarians are assigned as liaisons to work with specific academic departments; periodically, lists of highly reviewed materials specific to your discipline will be compiled and shared with your departmental chairs/liaisons for review and selection.
You may also access Choice Reviews Online to read reviews of books you may wish to request for purchase. (Contact Andrew Smith to set up your user account for full access to reviews.)
