Purchase Recommendation

The Health Sciences Library welcomes recommendations of books, journals, and electronic materials for addition to the collection. Requests are evaluated by the Collection Development Librarian and are based on the status of the Library's current and future acquisitions budget.

Relevance to the curriculum, research, and clinical practice as stated in the Collection Development Policy, as well as the availability of items elsewhere on campus or in the OhioLINK network of libraries is considered.

• Before submitting a recommendation, please check OSCAR to make sure the material you need is not already available in the Health Sciences Library. Requests without complete information (i.e. no name or campus phone/e-mail) will not be honored.
• For help or for additional information, contact the Collection Development Librarian at 292-4892 or hartel.642@osu.edu
