PURCHASE POLICY
The library does not have sufficient funds to purchase all requests; therefore, purchases are not guaranteed.
The procedure for requesting a title for purchase starts by a UWM faculty or staff member submitting a request to their departmental library representative or by filling out the Libraries purchase recommendation form located on the Libraries website. UWM students may also suggest titles for purchase by filling out the Libraries purchase recommendation form.
All purchases will be added to the Multimedia Library's collection and subject to its circulation and check-out procedures.
