Faculty
and students at Wells are encouraged to take an active role in the
development of the library's collections.
Before
submitting an order, please
check the library online catalog to verify that the library does not
already have the title.
The library cannot reimburse
individuals or
departments for purchase of items intended for inclusion in the
library's
collection without advance authorization by the library director of LIS.
Submit
your orders for books/videos/DVDs
in one of three ways:
1.
Fill out a request card
and send it to Kim Nolan, acquisitions manager. Request cards
can
be found at the Main Desk.
2.
Submit publishers' catalogs, blurbs,
or brochures. Circle clearly the titles being requested and include publisher's pertinant information
such
as telephone number and address.
3.
E-mail Acquisitions Manager Kim Nolan at knolan@wells.edu. We recommend that you select "return receipt notification"
to confirm receipt of the order.
For
all requests:
Whenever
possible list author, title, publisher,
year, ISBN, and cost when submitting requests.
Include
your name and department.
If requesting a number of titles, please
prioritize your requests.
If
a title is intended for use as a course reserve, include the department and course
number and reserve option (open, closed, 2 day).
Generally:
Please
submit requests as far in advance as
possible.
Depending
upon availability, fulfillment can
take from a few weeks to several months.
If
you need an item quickly, please write
"rush" at the top of your request but keep in mind that timely shipment
is dependent upon stock availability. You will be notified by email when the item is ready to circulate.
You
will be notified by email if an item is
out-of-print or no longer available.
If
requested, new items may be placed on "hold"
at the Main Desk. You will be notified by email when your
requests
are available to circulate.
The
library purchases hardcover editions whenever
possible, and under normal usage purchases only a single copy of a given
title.
Dissertations
from other
institutions,
textbooks, workbooks, and teaching aids are not normally added to the library's collection.
Gifts
are accepted with the understanding
that the library may include them in the collection or dispose of them
at the librarian's discretion.
Requests
for new journal subscriptions
should be submitted to Muriel
Godbout.
For
more information,
contact Kim Nolan at 364-3357 or send an email to knolan@wells.edu.
