Order
Requests The Library relies heavily on the suggestions and requests of Faculty for the
development of its print, non-print, and electronic collection of resources. If
you would like the Library to purchase a specific book, periodical, media item,
online database, or
other material for our collection, reserve a film for showing in one of your
classes, receive a donation, add a link to an Internet resource on the
Library Web Site, or borrow items from another institution, please let us know. Below is a guide for who to contact about
what, as well as brief summaries of the processes. Contact: Judy Cater, Acquisitions
Librarian x2618 See also LIBRARIAN SUBJECT SPECIALTY list
for other Librarians to contact for assistance in identifying resources when you
don't have a specific title in mind) Process: Discuss or submit requests to Judy Cater. Upon approval, items are
ordered (budget permitting). As soon as the item is received and cataloged, you
will be notified. Contact: Judy Cater, Acquisitions
Librarian, x2618 Process: Donations may be brought to the Library Donations Station (located
just inside the loading dock entrance to the Library) at any time during regular
business hours. However, it is recommeded that you contact Judy Cater to discuss
the donation. The Library welcomes and accepts all donations, particularly of
materials that have current application to the research and learning needs of
its users, but reserves the right to not add donations to the collection and
dispose of such items as appropriate.
Media
Booking (borrowing and Media Consortium purchases)
Contacts: Borrowing: Anne Stephan, x3231 Process: Palomar College is a member of the San Diego County Office of
Education (SDCOE) Community College Media Consortia. SDCOE maintains a
cooperative collection of videos and DVDs that may be used by faculty from any
of the community colleges in the County, usually for the purpose of classroom
instruction. Palomar College also purchases media for the cooperative
(generally, items that would not be purchased for the Library's own collection
due to cost and/or usage frequency). To borrow items in this collection, or to find out which items are
in this collection, go to
http://www.palomar.edu/library/mediabook.htm. To request items to purchase for the cooperative, contact Judy Cater. Contact: Anne Stephan, x3231 Process: The Library can obtain from publishers or distributors copies of
films and videos that faculty wish to preview before ordering for either the
Library's collection or the Consortia. Contact: Tamara Weintraub, x2967 Process: In addition to the Library's material collection, we also maintain
web pages with links to valuable Internet resources. The decision to subscribe
to bibliographic databases are made by all the Librarians, but initial requests
may be directed to Judy Cater or Tamara Weintraub. Furthermore, if there is a web site that you think should be included (or one
that should be deleted!) on any of the Library's web pages, please contact Tamara
Weintraub. If you wish to simply borrow a book or obtain articles that the
Library does not own, we may be able to obtain it for you from another
institution (rather than purchase copies for our permanent collection). For
interlibrary loans, fill out and submit the
book ILL form or
periodical article ILL
form.
