If we do not have a book that you need, please fill out an online order recommendation form. We will promptly purchase the book, notify you when it arrives, and place it on hold for you at the circulation desk.
If a particular book is out-of-print or otherwise unavailable for purchase, we can still obtain it for you via our free interlibrary loan service. Interlibrary loan allows us to borrow materials from other libraries around the world, at no cost to you. If you would like to make an interlibrary loan for a book or journal article that we do not own, please complete the interlibrary loan request form.
