Suggestions for new additions to the collection may be made by writing a memo to the Dean of Library Affairs or the Manager, Collection Development Division. Preference is given to those requests which are endorsed by the department chairman or appropriate Dean. Requests should include as much information as possible, such as author, title, publisher, and date of publication. For assistance in making requests for new additions to the Library, bibliographic tools, such as book reviews, publishers' announcements and catalogs, special listings, national bibliographies, and indexes to audio-visual materials are available for consultation at the Reference Desk and in the Acquisitions Department. Further information about requesting material can be obtained by calling 3011 or 3026.
Effort is made to acquire the requested items within the minimum possible time.
Vendor performance is monitored on a continuing basis for this purpose. A monthly acquisition list of new material is printed and circulated among the departments. Inquiries about specific items may be directed to the Acquisitions Department on telephone 3011 or 3026. Inquiries related to the receipt of such material may be directed to the Acquisitions Department on telephone 3026. A periodical is a publication issued in successive parts bearing a numerical or chronological designation and is intended to be continued indefinitely.
