Request Materials for the Library to Purchase

Requests for books, periodicals and non-print materials should be made directly to the Acquisitions Department.
To have course assignment materials available at the beginning of the semester, please order materials at least 6 weeks prior to the opening day of classes. Click for information about placing materials on reserve.
We encourage you to recommend materials at any point in the semester, but we ask you to understand the delays in the ordering/receiving process.
Not all requests can be honored because of budget constraints.
Library faculty order materials for various subject categories. Click for a list of subject selectors.

Submitting Requests for Purchase

Written requests are preferable with as much bibliographic information as possible.
Standard recommendation forms are available; please call and ask for a supply. Request forms are also available at the Reference Desk, 4th floor.
You may also submit requests by telephone or e-mail.
You may make your request online.

Gifts and Donations

The Library welcomes gifts from FIT faculty, FIT alumni or other donors. You will receive a written acknowledgement of your gift.
Faculty publications are often highlighted on the library website. These publications are also searchable in StyleCat Library Catalog using FIT authors as a Subject.
The Library reserves the right to decide whether the donated material is appropriate for the FIT collection.
The Library is not allowed to make appraisals for income tax purposes. We can, however, provide you with a list of commercial appraisers.
