Ask a Librarian: Recommend a Title

We welcome our library members' suggestions for the purchase of new materials (material published within the last 12 months). Please provide the following information:

  • Author
  • Title
  • Format (e.g. Book, CD, video or DVD)
  • What is this request about - what is the subject?
  • Where did you hear about the title?
  • Your name and e-mail address
  • Your library card number (all 14 digits)

Information Services staff will take your requests in person or over the telephone (728-1010 option 3 or ext. 7020) or e-mail us your suggestion providing as much information as possible. If the book is ordered, you will be placed on the hold list and notified when it arrives. If the book is not ordered, the staff member who makes the decision will contact you with the reason(s).

For specialized, technical, older, or out-of-print materials, you may wish to consider using our Interlibrary Loan Service.

Please note: We cannot add all suggested materials. View our Collection Development Policy** to see the guidelines we follow to decide what materials to add to the collection.
