Acquisitions Department
The Acquisitions Department at the F&M Library endeavors to fulfill all selection requests in the most timely, accurate and economical manner possible. Selectors can best help us meet their needs by providing the information (specified on the online order forms) necessary to accomplish these goals.Before you proceed, did you already check the Library Catalog to see if F&M owns the item you are requesting? Please visit Audio Visual Resources to find information regarding AV materials and to help provide more complete citations.
You will be prompted for your F&M username and password when you choose any of the order links below.

Book Order -------------- Includes: print materials (books, etc.) |
Audio Order -------------- Includes: CDs and cassettes |
Video Order -------------- Includes: DVDs and VHS tapes |
The order process normally takes about 4 to 6 weeks. However, timing can vary significantly depending on the availability of an item. It is always beneficial to order items shortly after initial release dates, as most books/audios/videos are issued in short runs, and can quickly go out of publication. You can also expedite the order process by providing as much citation information as possible. Please indicate on each order form if this is a RUSH order, or if you would like the Library to NOTIFY you when the item arrives. The Special notes field can be used for any additional or supporting information.
