Acquisitions Department
Hours: Monday - Friday, 9:00 am - 5:00pm
The Library acquires materials and provides access to information resources
in support of, and appropriate to, the level of the instructional programs of the Campus
and the University. Strong consideration is given to titles and resources fulfilling the
accreditation needs of schools, departments, and programs.
The Library also acquires materials and provides access to resources in support of the
research needs of the faculty, when feasible.
The process of selection is ongoing, enabling the Library to develop both strength
in special areas and balance in the general collection across all formats. While the
emphasis is on current needs, long term needs are also taken into consideration.
Therefore the pattern of acquisitions and access to resources changes to reflect changes
in the curriculum. The Library also takes into consideration its space limitations.
The framework of procedures, definitions, and guiding principles governing the
selection, acquisition, and deaccessioning of library materials in both traditional
and electronic formats is provided in our Collection Policy Statement.
Suggest a Title for Our Collection:
If you wish to request a specific title for the collection, please fill out the
Acquisitions Request Form.
You may also phone or mail a request. Please provide the following information:
author, title, publisher, year, edition, ISBN, and price.
And please let us know whether you are a faculty member, staff member or student,
your department, and the phone number where you wish to be reached.
If you want to make a more general suggestion, for instance more books on
personnel management, please let us know as well.

Gifts, Donations, and Exchanges:
Gifts to support the Library's general acquisitions are greatly appreciated.
The library welcomes gifts that fall within the scope of its collecting activities.
The same criteria that are used for the purchase of new materials are
applied when gifts are reviewed. In both cases the decision is based
upon the demands, present and anticipated, of the University’s teaching
programs.
The Library retains the right to accept or decline gifts. Gifts of materials
are accepted with the understanding that once received they are owned
by the University. The Library reserves the right to determine their
retention, cataloging treatment, or, when a title is a duplicate or
inappropriate for our needs, their disposition in the appropriate
manner, e.g. sale, exchange, etc.
We do not provide appraisals, but a letter of acknowledgement for
the gift will be sent to the donor when requested.
Inquiries and offers should be addressed to Rosemary Burgos-Mira,
Gifts Librarian, (516) 299-3526 or via email
rosemary.burgos-mira@liu.edu.
