Acquisitions

Library Forms

The library's Collection Development Policy is a dynamic document outlining the current guidelines and practices to be used in the selection of all library materials

Faculty may also use the Book and Audio-Visual Request Form to request new library materials. For a list of recent acquisitions, see New Library Items.

We recommend using CHOICE Online Reviews for assistance in selecting materials. Your subject liaison will also send CHOICE review cards periodically.
