ACQUISITIONS

The Library Staff welcomes suggestions for purchase of library materials. Use the "Request Library Materials" link below to submit requests online. Provide as much information as you have, such as author/title/publisher. The Library’s decision to purchase materials is based on the collection development policy, collection needs, and budget limitations. Generally, books take a month to order, receive, and process; however, there is no way to predict availability from the publisher. If you require an item by a certain date, please indicate that on the request form.
