Departmental Purchasing

In general this information applies to orders for print items.eResources are generally bought from Library funds as the access path for online resources needs to be available across EMHS and SMHS. Subscriptions are generally bundled (by publisher not clinical specialty or individual titles).


Library staff do not order print books for departments from the Library budget or manage the ordering or cataloguing.

We are happy to assist with advice on sources to supply.  In general it is simplest for departments to order using a departmental p-card.  If the department does not have one, a business manager will generally have access to one.

If you wish to recommend a book to be kept in the Library collection, use this form.
