| Faculty are
invited to make suggestions for additions to the Meriam
Library collection. Each Department has a Book Chair (list
located at http://www.csuchico.edu/lacq/dept/faculty.htm)
who acts as liaison between the Department and the Library. |

Books  |
|
Each department receives a small
departmental allocation to purchase materials that do
not come automatically through the “approval plan”
– a service that matches new books to our curriculum
profile and automatically sends the matches to us. If
you would like to request a book you will find the book
order form at http://www.csuchico.edu/lacq/dept/form.htm.
Please fill out the request, print it or email it to
your Book
Chair liaison for consideration.

| Journals |
|
The journal collection including
the electronic full text collection is over 13,000 titles.
Like all other university libraries, we are dealing
with journal price increases of about 15% per year.
If a Department desires to add a new title to the collection,
they must identify [a] print subscription[s] of equal
value to trade for the new title. There is a journal
request form at http://www.csuchico.edu/lacq/dept/subscription.htm.
|
| Media/Non Print |
The departmental allocation
is not limited to books. Some departments are more interested
in video DVD, CD-Rom, audio CD or other format. Use
the book request form for these selections. The only
qualifier is that the library does not support unusual
or outdated formats or applications with complicated
technological requirements. Please check with Limited
Loan (sriazi@csuchico.edu
or 898-5729) for information on supported formats. |
| Software |
The Library does not purchase software for course
related use. Faculty needing support for specific
software applications in the general student labs
should contact User Support Services. Departments
maintain departmental labs.
