Acquisitions

FACULTY

Please use our Book Purchase Request Forms to purchase materials for the permanent library collections. (To request an Inter-Library loan or FLEX delivery, click here). If you need to edit or make a change to a purchase request that has already been submitted, please do not submit a new request. Instead, send an email message to your division librarian.

Please review the Acquisitions Policies & Tips before submitting book purchase requests.

STUDENTS

Student groups working on special campus projects are eligible to apply to purchase materials for the library collection. Please use our Student Grant Appication for Library Materials.

For any other book order suggestions, please email us at askref@hollins.edu. We will consider every suggestion, based on the following criteria:

  • Does it relate to the curriculum? We try our best to stretch our purchasing dollars as far as possible; and since the library's primary purpose is to support the university's educational mission, that means we have to evaluate what we buy based on how well it will help you succeed as a student. Many of the popular materials in the library have been donated by members of the Hollins Community; we welcome those donations.
  • Does Roanoke College own it? If they do, you have access to that book or film by requesting it via our joint online catalog. In order to spend our funds wisely we try not to order items that are already available at Roanoke College.

To see the variety of materials that the library has to offer, we encourage you to check out our bestseller collection and the new book shelf on the first floor; or browse our films via the online catalog. For example, did you know you can browse the films by genre? ("comedy films", "adventure films", "foreign films", horror films", etc.)
