New book title suggestions are welcome and can be sent by email or office mail. If you see a book review in a personal journal, you may xerox it and send it with your request. Include basic information like Author, Title, Publisher, and if available, the Price and ISBN number.

The library offers a monthly service in which CHOICE magazine reviews can be xeroxed in your discipline and sent to you. Just circle and initial the book titles you would like to be considered for ordering and mail the whole list back to the Acquisitions Office, Library. To be added to the CHOICE magazine reviews mailing list, call 215-489-2386.
