 How to Make a Request

It is important to us that we have relevant and useful resources for students and faculty in the library. We welcome your requests and suggestions for additions – books, eBooks, videos, magazines and journals - to the library collection. All requests must fall within our Collection Development Policy (PDF) and are subject to budgetary considerations. If we cannot find or afford something that you would like us to add, we will work with you to find a suitable substitution.

Before making a recommendation...

• Check the library catalogue to ensure that the item is not available in the collection
• Perform a search in the library databases to ensure that the article is not available in our electronic resources.

 Gifts & Donations

The Library welcomes gifts and accepts them with the donor’s understanding that the materials are evaluated by the same standards as purchased items. A donor form documents all donations. Lack of staff time for processing, age, format, topic, physical condition or copyright considerations is a determinant for adding donated items to the collection.
