Collection Development Requests

If you'd like the library to add a particular monograph or journal to our collection:

  • Please consult with your department's Library Liaison
  • This person meets with our Acquisition Librarian during the academic semester, and will notify them of your request

The Whittemore Library's Acquisition Policy, in brief:

  • Materials will be selected based on demonstrated need, anticipated use, and available funding
  • The Materials selection process will be inclusive and include diverse viewpoints
  • Materials of authoritative scholarship, quality, currency, sustainable pricing models, and favorable licensing terms will be selected
  • All efforts will be made to ensure that materials are accessible
