1. What is an "approval plan"?
Approval plans are plans in which a commercial vendor supplies to the library immediately after publication those books which meet specific subject parameters. They are a quick, simple, and economical method for acquiring a core of current trade and scholarly materials in selected subject areas. The approval books come ready to be shelved.
2. How soon must I place an order to be able to use it the following semester?
An order must be placed by December 15 to be
available for the Spring Semester.
All other orders must be in by May 4.
3. How do I order materials to add to the collection?
Any faculty member can submit an order for materials to be purchased out of the department’s library allocation; for more information, see the Instructions for Ordering Library Materials.
4. Recommend a title for purchase
If you are not a faculty member and would like to recommend a title to be added to the library collection, please use the online form: Suggest a Title for Purchase to submit your suggestion.
