Information on book orders.

Faculty Orders

WNE faculty may recommend books for the library to purchase that have ongoing relevance to course or curricular needs. All purchases are at the discretion of the Library, and requests will be reviewed for relevance, cost, availability, and accessibility.

While the library does purchase textbooks, it is not always economically feasible due to the high costs set by publishers. When considering textbooks for Course Reserve, faculty are asked to temporarily provide either their own copies or desk copies from publishers whenever possible.

I want to recommend the library order a book that has ongoing relevance to the curriculum:
Please submit a Book Purchase request.

I need a book for short-term use, my research, or personal interest:
Please submit an Interlibrary Loan request.

I want to place a book the library already owns, or a book I own, on reserve for the semester:
Please fill out the Reserve Items form. (And if it's your book, remember to bring it to the library!)
