Book Orders

To place an order go to the "Order Forms" drop down menu from the Acquisitions Department Home Page, select "Book Order Form" or "Journal Order Form" and click go.  You can also use standard order cards available in the Acquisitions Department, catalogues/flyers, etc. with orders circled, signed and fund designated, or you can email to liborders@davidson.edu.  Place order cards in the library box in Chambers or in the box outside the Acquisitions office. Allow a minimum of 45 days for a book to be received after we place the order. Reserve information (semester, course and course number) can be given in the "Comments or Questions" box of the Book/Journal Order Form or on the bottom of the order card.  When the book is catalogued, it will be placed on reserve immediately. Rush orders are accepted in unusual circumstances. Please discuss each rush order with someone of the Acquisitions Department Staff so that all necessary information may be obtained.  All orders are entered on a first-come-first-served basis except rush orders, which are placed immediately. Duplicates are not ordered unless specifically requested. The Acquisitions Department will check for duplicates; you are not required to check our holdings. Initiate requests for library purchases from the Student Store with the Acquisitions Department.
