Acquisitions - Suggesting Materials for Purchase

 
 
UWS Faculty and staff may recommend materials to be added to the collection.  You may request forms from the acquisitions staff or fill out the online Purchase Suggestion Form.
 
ChoiceReviews online is available.  ChocieReviews online reviews current publications, including websites, in many disciplines and has all of the pertinent bibliographic information in the citation.  Searches can be done by title, author, or keyword.  Please contact your department chair or Deb Nordgren for information on gaining access to ChoiceReviews online.  Some disciplines may not have reviews included each month.
 
The library also furnishes blank request cards.  The following information is needed:
Title
Author
Publisher
Publication Date
ISBN (optional)
Price (optional)
Departmental Head
Signature (required)
Requestors Signature (required)
 
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. 
 

If you have any questions concerning publisher information, prices and availability please contact Beverly Sturgis at 715-394-8437 or via email.
