Book Requests

Contact: Peter Kupersmith, Director

New book title suggestions are welcome and can be sent by email or office mail. If you see a book review in a personal journal, you may xerox it and send it with your request. Include basic information like Author, Title, Publisher and, if available, the Price and ISBN number.

Would you like to see what new books are being reviewed in your area?  CHOICE magazine reviews can be xeroxed in your discipline and sent to you. Just circle and initial the book titles you would like to be considered for ordering and mail the whole list back to the Acquisitions Office, Library. To be added to the CHOICE magazine reviews mailing list, call 215-489-4957.

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) Requests

Please include as much information as possible about the book or article in question. The Library belongs to a nation-wide consortium, OCLC, with reciprocal borrowing privileges so we have access to most items.

Library Instruction

Contact: Janet Klaessig, Electronic Services Librarian
215-489-4957 janet.klaessig@delval.edu

The library has an active and flexible instructional program. We customize presentations to individual classes and assignments providing sessions at the library, in computer classrooms or in your classroom. Please call at least a week ahead to schedule a session.  We use Libguides, a software package, to create websites that focus on specific assignments or topics for classroom instruction.  Click here to see an example.  We would be happy to create a Libguide for your class, whether you request a library presentation or not.
