Hi, we're finishing up our book buying for the year, but we will still take requests for items needed for reserve or needed quickly for research projects. You can now also indicate on your interlibrary loan requests if you think a book would make a good addition to the collection. I look at these comments and decide if we should buy the book or borrow it. If we can get the book here quickly, we'll probably buy it instead of borrowing it. I'll contact you directly if you make a request this way.
