Request cards should be sent to Deb Nordgren for final
approval. The department library liaison and the department chair person
are notified of the department's allocation at the beginning of the academic
year. Periodically, fund reports are issued to the department chairperson
showing the amount ordered and fund balance. The funds allocated for
departmental requests are used for ordering books and non-print materials.
Periodicals and standing orders are not charged against the funds allocated to
the departments, but against a single library fund for serial subscriptions.
Orders will be charged to departmental library materials allocations.
Orders that faculty and staff make directly to a publisher may not be honored by
the library.
One books are received they are sent to the Cataloging
Department to be processed. You will be notified by campus mail or e-mail
if requested. After the book has been catalogued it will be held in your
name for one week. New books are displayed in the reading area of the
first floor of the library before they are shelved in the stacks on 2nd floor.

publisher information, prices and availability please contact
