I am happy to announce that the Acquisitions Material Request Form is officially up and running!
In a nutshell, this form is meant to be a uniform and simple way to request materials that are not available through GOBI. Whether from Amazon, foreign suppliers, eBay, or the far corners of the Internet, our hope is that this form will make it easier for our librarians to request those hard-to-find orders. In the past, we’ve generally used email to request these materials but I felt that that process could be made even more efficient. Because it includes all the information the Acquisitions team requires, using this form will not only simplify the ordering process, but accelerate it as well. As always, Gregg or I will send confirmation when we have ordered the requested item.
Check it out and feel free to share your feedback with us!

Many, many thanks to Gregg Harris and Paul Thompson for helping me get this idea up and running—great job, guys!
All the best,
Lauren
