Request to Purchase Materials Policy
OU Libraries purchases titles supporting the research and curricular needs of the University community and acquires both print and electronic formats. Purchase decisions are made by the Acquisitions department and appropriate subject librarians.
Make a Request
If there is a book you would like to recommend that OU Libraries add to their collection, please submit a request using the Purchase Request Form. This request form is for monographs only.
- If you are suggesting more than three titles, please send your request to the subject librarian instead.
- If you have databases or journal subscriptions that you would like to recommend OU Libraries add to their collection, please contact the subject librarian directly.
- Interlibrary Loan may be more appropriate for some monograph purchase requests.
Once a request is submitted, you will be contacted via email with any additional questions and to notify you of the final purchasing decision.
