Periodicals: Guidelines for Requesting New Journals

Guidelines for Requesting New Journals | New Journal Request Form | Policies & Procedures | Shelving Instructions | Periodicals Home

Review process

Because of the ongoing cost commitment for journal subscriptions, all journal requests are carefully reviewed. Factors that influence the approval of a journal subscription include:

New journal titles are ordered once a year in July. Subscriptions begin the following calendar year.

Department allocations

The library determines the allocation of budgeted monies that each academic department may use for new journal subscriptions.

Order deadline

The deadline for requesting new journals is June 1st of each year.

Submitting requests

Use our online print form (in PDF). All requests must be approved by the faculty liaison or department chair. Send completed purchase request forms and sample issues (if available) to:

Christine Maddy, Serials Assistant, McDonald Building, Room 208, ML 5211

Confirmation

Requesters will be notified of new journal request decisions after the journal review process is completed.
