We’ll send an automatic email to let you know we’ve received your suggestion. If items are approved for purchase or sent to interlibrary loan, a hold will be placed for you and you will receive a notification when it is available. Our staff are unable to track the status of your suggestion so please don’t inquire after your submission.
Because of the high volume of requests we receive, you will not be notified if we are unable to fill your request.
