The Library encourages suggestions from users about any aspect of library operations. Each department has an appointed library liaison and an annual discretionary fund for the purchase of books and other one-time items. Purchase requests within the discipline should be directed to your library liaison. Librarian liaisons are appointed to assist collection efforts, see current list in this guide. Liaisons pass along book reviews and prepare purchase request forms for the acquisitions department.
Liaisons track spending and report to the departments on fund availability.
Discretionary funds must be spent by mid-February to ensure materials are received in this fiscal year. The library reference desk is staffed most hours the library is open for in-person or phone consultation. Reference Desk - ext. Reference assistance is provided in learning to use an electronic database or planning in-depth research strategy. Copiers in the library are operated by money or by department key code numbers.
