Articles are sent electronically. Most books and other returnables (e.g., DVDs, microfilm) are received in about 2 weeks, and you will notified by email when they are available for you to pick up at the Reference desk.
Purchasing books and journals for the library is one of the responsibilities of the subject specialists.
Faculty may submit book suggestions online or contact the appropriate subject specialist for consideration.
