SUGGEST A PURCHASE

The Library purchases materials recommended by faculty using the Collection Development guidelines. Requests for new journal titles require a continuing commitment, and a variety of factors are considered before adding a title.

If you believe that we should add a particular journal, book, or other resource, let us know through the Library Resource Suggestion Form. We will review your request and let you know if the AU Libraries were able to purchase the requested material.
