Library Materials Purchase Request

The Faculty of Langston University are encouraged to participate in the selection process of library materials for all of the Langston University Libraries.  Please email your suggestions for purchase to Kate Corbett, Collection Development Librarian, or Mrs. Bettye Black, Director of the University Libraries.  The University Libraries try to accommodate all faculty requests within the scope of the Libraries collections and the restrictions of the materials budget.  Please bear in mind that the purchasing and receiving process for the Libraries may take as long as 2 - 3 months for some materials.  RUSH processing is available for some items from some vendors, but usually at an increased cost.
