How can I recommend a resource?
Teaching staff, researchers and students can suggest the purchase of resources such as books, journals, databases and others through the Recommend a resource service.
Our team at the Library will evaluate the possibility of including the resource using the following criteria:
- The interest and relevance of the topic and the authors in relation to the university's fields of study, teaching and research
- The resource's availability in digital format (this will be prioritized)
- Budget availability and resources already present in the collection, to ensure thematic balance
The Library will inform you whether your request has been approved or declined.
