Q. How do I recommend that the Libraries purchase a book?

Recommend a book for purchase

Faculty and students are encouraged to submit recommendations for additions to the library collection. Our subject librarians evaluate recommendations to ensure that they meet the University’s teaching, research, and student success goals, as well as the guidelines in our Collection Development Policy.

You can also request that a book be purchased when requesting an interlibrary loan through ILLiad system.  

1. Log in to ILLiad with your NetId and password
2. Use the book option under "Submit New Request" on the left and fill in the author, title, and publication date
3. Answer yes to "Should the University Libraries consider purchasing this item?" before submitting the request

We are also collecting book suggestions for our new Popular Books collection!
