BOOKS
Our budget allows us to buy approximately 4000 books a year, which requires us to be extremely selective. Although we maintain a well balanced basic collection to support ESU's curriculum, we do not make departmental allocations. We welcome faculty requests and honor these requests above librarian's selections. Materials requested for class use should be given the highest priority. We ask that you put priority on materials to support and enhance your course syllabi. It will probably be necessary for you to utilize our Interlibrary Loan Services for much of your personal research. Please request materials in advance of the time you need them so there will be ample time to obtain them.To request books:
1. Please fill in the form completely. The ISBN number is extremely important to us for locating a copy of the book.
TO REQUEST BOOKS BY E-MAIL
Provide all the information asked for in the "To Request Books" section and send it to acq@emporia.edu or fill out the online request form.
If you have questions or we can be of service, please feel free to contact us.
BIOGRAPHICAL MATERIALS:
The Library has an endowed fund for the purchase of recently published biographies. If you would like to request biographical materials, please follow the same procedure outlined above and send your requests to:
Terri Summey
Head of Collection Development
W. A. White Library, Box 4051
Ext. 5058
NOTIFICATION WHEN BOOKS ARRIVE:
Please write on request slip if you would like the book held for you, or if you want it placed on reserve. Otherwise the book will be placed in the NEW BOOK DISPLAY AREA for one week. In any case, we will send you the request form with the call number noted, after the book arrives and is cataloged.REQUESTING MEDIA MATERIALS
Faculty requests will be considered for media materials (videos, audio cassettes, music CDs, CD-ROMs, and other media). Limited funding allows for a finite number of media purchases. This means that all requests will be subject to approval. Requesters will be notified as to what action will be taken. New material will need to be previewed by both the requesting faculty member and Media Resources Department personnel. The requester will be notified when materials arrive. Please direct questions regarding Media purchases to Terri Summey at ext. 5058 or summeyte@emporia.edu. To request the purchase of Media Materials either contact Terri Summey directly or fill out the online request form.

REQUESTING PERIODICAL SUBSCRIPTIONS
Faculty requests will be considered for periodical (journals, magazines) subscriptions. Please direct these requests to Terri Summey, ext. 5058 or submit the following online request form. Your request will be given serious consideration. Since periodical subscriptions are ongoing and we are constrained by limited periodical funding, purchases cannot be guaranteed. You will be advised of the action taken on your request. Please direct questions by telephone or through e-mail to Terri Summey at ext. 5058 or summeyte@emporia.edu.
