Library
Online Acquisition

The online acquisition unit of LibSys.net is now ready for use.  Instead of submitting the Book Order Request Form as in the past, follow the steps outlined below to make requests for purchase of new books in the library.

From the intranet site:

• Open the BU Library page.

• Open “Services” and “Online Acquisition.”

• Login with your university user name and password.

• Select “New request.”

• The acquisition page opens.

• Fill completely and accurately the data for a new purchase.

• Hit “Insert” and the request will be saved for the acquisition librarian.

• For another entry hit "New" and continue.

Please be attentive to enter data correctly; note an inaccurate ISBN number will lead to the purchase of an unwanted item.  Be attentive also not to send a request for the same book twice or a book already on the shelves. Time is needed to place an order, shipping and processing; allow plenty of time before the book is needed.  Only Deans, Chairs, Directors and their secretaries with the proper approval are authorized to make the request.  If a department member is delegated with this responsibility, please inform the acquisition librarian.

Thanks for your cooperation in taking advantage of this system.
