Faculty members are welcome to request materials to support the curriculum.
Patrons may suggest materials the Library might wish to acquire. In addition to these requests, Library personnel recommend selections in their assigned subject areas. Acquisitions also accepts donations. Once books have been requested by either faculty or Library selectors, they are approved in a book order meeting. Occasionally some items are cut for budgetary reasons or because of a consensus that they do not meet some aspect of the Library's collection needs.
