Academic Faculty should route their requests to the CD Team through their Library Subject Specialists. The Acquisitions Unit orders materials as soon as the requests are received from the Collection Development Team or within as short a period of time as possible depending on the amount of requests received, the completeness of the information received, or the absence of problems concerning the requests.
Every effort is made to obtain the materials requested.
The primary monographic vendor is Yankee. Non-print materials are sent to Ambassador. Some monographs and other materials are sent direct in order to take advantage of discounts, special offers, or limited availability. Anyone in Acquisitions will check on orders that have not been received, materials waiting to be cataloged, or on orders which have been canceled and notify the concerned faculty as to the disposition of the order.
