Funding for Expensive Items: call for recommendations

Each year the Library reserves a small part of its budget for the purchase of resources which cannot be easily funded from its Faculty allocations. Such items may be large sets of books, reference works or research collections, with a cost of more than $1,000. Items may be in print or online, but journal subscriptions are usually not considered.

Recommendations, accompanied by a brief statement explaining that the title supports the research priorities of the University, should be sent to Rashmi Madan, Coordinator Document Delivery and Budget, Information Resource Access Management, by 31 August 2009.

Rashmi may be contacted at rmadan@library.uwa.edu.au
