Library Collection Development

Orders for books and media should include:

• Your name 
• Title of publication
• Author
• Publication Year
• Price
• ISBN (when available)

Orders may be submitted in several different ways, including but not limited to:

• GOBI
• Choice reviews
• Publication announcements

However you choose to submit your order requests, please make sure to include your name so we can contact you.

Subscription Requests: Subscription requests for journals, newspapers, electronic databases, annual publications, directories, etc. may be submitted to acq@winthrop.edu.

Subscriptions are an ongoing expense and requires a more in-depth review process, since a new subscription may mean canceling a different subscription. The library does not allocate funds to departments for subscriptions.

Funds Charged for Library Orders: 

• Departmental liaison selections are charged against subject-specific funds for their selections. 
• Librarian selections are charged against the library-internal allocations for General Collection, Reference, and replacements.
• The recurring charges for print and electronic subscriptions are charged against subscription funds.
