Requests for Purchase of Library Materials
Every year, departments are allotted a portion of the library's materials budget to select for purchase books and DVDs in support of the College curricula. (While we are able to support faculty research via unlimited free ILL and the ongoing expansion of our database collection, we do not have the resources to purchase materials to support individual faculty research.)

In selecting materials, faculty are encouraged to use

Choice Reviews Online
