Faculty: Reading Lists and Library Purchases for Fall 2020

Publication Date

Schaffer Library would like to help ensure a successful fall term by acquiring a copy of all course-related materials (other than textbooks), such as recently published books, older works, or videos. We know that the upcoming term will require flexibility, so our goal is to provide electronic copies whenever possible, though we will purchase hard copies of print and media as needed. We will then work to help streamline access, whether through such services as electronic reserves, direct delivery, or improved licensing restrictions.

If you are interested in this service, please tell us more by submitting your list of materials here.

If we are able to purchase these materials, we will contact you with details about formats and availability. (Please note that we are unable to purchase textbooks at this time, and any item over $200 or with prohibitive licensing restrictions will be reviewed with you before purchase.) Once the materials arrive, we will contact you about next steps and options to make them available.

Please send us your lists no later than August 1, 2020.

For questions, please contact Library Collections at librarycollections@union.edu.

Have a wonderful and safe summer.
