Departmental Non-Library Material Requests

These materials are non-consumable items for use by more than one student or employee and intended to be housed in a classroom or an office and they can be books, print subscriptions, or other media. Requests for preview of textbooks or ‘on approval’ materials need to be handled by individual departments.
