Staff: Ordering library stock
Ordering library stock
Funds are allocated to the library for each academic department based on student FTEs. The fiscal year runs from the 1st of September to the 31st of August. Items are ordered in line with the Collection Development Policy.
Items can be ordered by emailing the requests to: libraryacquisitionskerry@mtu.ie
The priority for ordering is for:
-
-
- Items that on module reading lists. All requests must have a module code and department.
- The library also reviews the reading lists and orders items that are not in the collection if funds are not spent.
- Items that are not on the module reading lists and are required for research purposes must be accompanied by a completed MTU Library Book Order Form and signed by the relevant Head of Department
-
Print titles: Requests should include as much bibliographic information as possible. The acquisitions department will check to see the availability of the title.
eBooks: Not all titles are available in electronic format or available for institutional access. If they are available, it is usually as a single, three or unlimited user licence models. A decision will be made based on the cost effectiveness of these models.
All purchases are made subject to budget being available.
Please contact the MTU Kerry Library Acquisitions team at libraryacquisitionskerry@mtu.ie if you have any queries relating to orders.
