Recommend a Purchase

Current affiliates can complete our purchase request form (U-M authentication required) to suggest an item for the library's collection.

You can make recommendations for books, journals, databases, microforms, videos, or other types of materials.

To order an item to put on course reserve, please contact the location where you’ll have students check out the material.

Your request will be reviewed and, if necessary, forwarded to the appropriate library specialist. We will address requests within one working day and respond to you as soon as possible.

If we decide to purchase your suggested item, the process to acquire it can vary from a few days to several months. We’ll be in touch again when the item is available for use.
