There are mandatory fields you must complete to submit a book recommendation form, in addition to these please use the 'Note' field to advise the Library of any of the following:

  • Purpose / importance - what you will use the book for, and how important the title is in meeting the purpose.
  • Edition - the Library will buy the most recent edition of a book by default, if you need a specific edition note this and the reason for requesting this edition.
  • Language of publication - the Library will buy an English language edition of a book, if you need a book in a specific language please note this, and the reason for requesting in this language. It is still useful to note the language of publication when there is no English language version.

For more information about recommending book purchasing please see the Book Ordering guide.
