Use the following form to request materials to be purchased by the library and added to the library collections. Requested materials must be tied to a course or program taught here at the College. Funding does not permit purchases for personal interest.
What happens next?
Your material request form will be forwarded to your department chair or dean via e-mail. Once they receive the notification e-mail, they will either approve or deny your request.
Will I be notified if my request is sent to purchase?
Yes. You will receive an e-mail from the collection development librarian when your request is received, then a follow up e-mail notifying you of the action taken by the library.
Before You Use the Form
Material requests may take several weeks to process. Physical materials (books, DVDs, etc.) first go through processing and cataloging before they can be used in the classroom. E-books are generally available within 24-48 hours of purchase.
Don't want to wait? Consider using an alternative! Search one of the library's collections. We have a vast collection of print, electronic books, multimedia and streaming videos.
