Requests for new book acquisitions can be submitted by using this form. Please fill out as much information as possible about the book you are requesting. If you are able to locate the book in the library catalog, you can simply click the red GET IT button which will take you to the request form.

On the request form, you can specify how you think Bertrand Library should acquire the book, and whether or not you want it held for you when it arrives.

Please note: Bertrand Library, like many libraries, does not collect required course textbooks. Textbooks often go out-of-date quickly, and are only available to one student at a time. Faculty may place a personal or demonstration copy on reserve so that students who cannot afford to purchase may borrow them to complete assigned readings. Please use this form to request that items be placed on reserve.
