Please search the Library's Catalogue to check if a copy is already in our collection before submitting a request.

What happens after a title is suggested?

  1. A librarian reviews your suggestion and may order the title if it meets our Collection Development Policies
  2. For non-digital titles selected for purchase, if a library barcode is included in the form, you will be notified when the item is available for pick up
