• Firm orders - These are orders for specific titles that are paid for out of each department's individual budget.  Titles are selected by departmental faculty and submitted to library liaisons, who then approve the purchase and submit to the Acquisitions & Resource Management Services department who place the orders with the vendor.  Visit the Firm Orders tab for more detailed information.
• Journals & Databases - Staff can request databases and serials to be included in our collection.  Database and serial requests are reviewed by a committee once a year and are evaluated for quality and appropriateness for our collection.
