Suggest a Purchase

The University of North Georgia (UNG) Libraries welcome purchase recommendations by UNG faculty members, staff members, students, and community members.

Recommending a Purchase

To recommend a purchase of a book or DVD for the UNG Libraries’ collections:

1. Contact the librarian responsible for selecting items in a subject area, or 
2. Complete the Recommendation for UNG Libraries Purchase form. Please fill out a separate request form for each recommended item.

Note: For lists of items, please contact a librarian to discuss and prioritize the list, rather than use the form, which is better for individual item recommendations.

All items recommended may not be purchased automatically; however, if you are recommending an item that will support a particular course, please include that information in your request.

Guidelines

Library materials purchasing is guided by the following considerations:

• Supports UNG student learning and research
• Item price and library budget cycle
• Item availability
• Number of similar items already in library
• UNG Libraries Collection Development Policy

Who do I contact when I want to suggest a purchase?

All departments have a librarian assigned to collect for their disciplines. The UNG librarians encourage faculty to recommend additions to the UNG Libraries' collections—especially those that support instruction. When requesting more than one item, we ask for a list prioritized by need. Justifications for how the material will support the curriculum are particularly helpful.
