The Library's Request Form is easy to use, but there are certain guidelines which will greatly help reduce the time needed for order and receipt of materials. Please provide as complete bibliographic information as possible on the request form. The omission of critical information such as author, title, publisher and publication date can result in deferred handling. Many items are very familiar to subject specialists but can go unrecognized by those not trained in the particular field.
Accurate spelling is also very important.
Typing or printing information on the form is also helpful to staff. A request form must be sent for each title ordered and must have an approved signature. Printed review or vendor slips with approved signatures are also acceptable. The white copy of the form is sent to Alkek Library Acquisitions. You may keep the pink copy for your records.
