Our primary purchasing period is the spring and summer. This ensures that items can be ordered, received and processed for the Fall term. Items requested outside this period will be placed on a pending ordering list until the following budget year.

To recommend materials for purchase, please gather as much information as you can about the item(s) that you wish to order.

You can submit a suggestion:

• In person at the front desk of your campus library
• Via our email address library@algonquincollege.com
• In collaboration with the selector for your area

Note: The acquisition of digital resources and periodical titles can be a long process as these are licensed yearly, rather than being one time purchases such as a book. A strong case needs to be made for their acquisition and additional funding needs to be sought to support their purchase.
