Macquarie staff and students can request the Library purchase new resources which support the University’s research, teaching and learning.
How to request a new resource
- Textbooks and new resources for teaching – contact the Unit Readings Team: lib.unitreadings@mq.edu.au. These requests can be complex and may take time to process so early advice on your unit resource requirements is appreciated. .
- Books for research are requested by making a book purchase request.
- Subscription-based resources such as journals and databases - please submit recommendation via the New Subscription Request form. Requests are assessed against research and teaching priorities as well as budgetary and technical constraints. Find out more about requesting new subscriptions.
When making a request please note:
- Where possible preference will be given to purchasing in electronic format.
- Researchers can place an interlibrary loan request for individual articles through MultiSearch.
- We prioritise resources that support teaching, learning and research, with an emphasis on identified areas of research excellence.
- Some working copies of published material can be purchased without reference to the Library.
