Selection of material to be purchased by the Library is a joint process involving teaching staff and the Faculty Liaison Librarians. If you identify gaps in the Library collections, or a lack of recently published items, in areas relevant to teaching and research at UC, please complete a Suggest a purchase form or contact your Faculty Liaison Librarian who can arrange to have lists of recently published materials sent to you

Items that are ordered from overseas or are difficult to source, may take up to 3 months for delivery.

 

Subscriptions to Journals, New Databases  
For ongoing subscriptions to journals, E-Books, databases etc. contact your Faculty Liaison Librarian.

 

Checking the Progress of an Order
To check if the item you ordered has arrived, search the Library's Catalogue. (Items "On order" have not yet been received; while items "In Transit" or "At Cataloguing" are being processed)

 

Publishers' Catalogues & Alerting Services
Faculty Liaison Librarians regularly forward catalogues from book and video publishers to teaching staff. They can also arrange for you to set up your own alerting service with book suppliers who will notify you by email of new publications in your subject area.
