Requesting Reading Lists
The Reading Lists Service is the quickest and easiest way to request new books and journal articles for your modules. Library Services are immediately alerted to any new titles added to lists which we can then purchase as required. If you would like more support with this, or advice on individual book requests, please email library@abertay.ac.uk
Requesting books to support research
We can order items for your projects or research wherever you work in the University. Contact library@abertay.ac.uk with the details of the item you wish to request, a full fund code, and e-mail authorisation from a signatory of the fund.
Other Requests
The Library reviews subscriptions to e-journals, specialist databases and all other online resources on an annual basis to ensure best possible value for money, and to ensure the resources remain relevant to staff and student requirements. If you have any recommendations for new online resources please send full details to library@abertay.ac.uk
Please note: new resource subscriptions will only be considered where they are required for a reading list, they are affordable, and there is an appropriate license or access model available.
Inspection copies
Many publishers offer free inspection copies of book titles. Please check the relevant publisher’s webpage to find out how to request a copy.
