Suggest a Purchase (Part II)

The HKAPA Libraries welcome suggestions for purchase of library materials.  Although we may not be able to acquire everything that is suggested, every suggestion received will be reviewed by the Librarian and faculty members.  From July 2010 to end of Jan 2011, the Libraries had received 97 online suggestions for purchase, 71% of the requested items were ordered.

Help us to enhance the Library Collection by sending us your suggestions.

Suggest a Purchase

The Library had received 127 online suggestions for purchase of library material. 57% of the requested items were ordered. Other suggestions were not filled for various reasons:

• Item already in the Library Collection;
• Item not available for purchase;
• Suggestions not endorsed by school or department.

 Please continue to send suggestions for purchase. We will follow up your requests to enhance the Library Collection.

From Recommendation to Purchase

The Library will send publishers’ information of new books and AV materials to relevant School and Department for selection. The selected item will be ordered and the Library will alert staff and students of new additions monthly by email. The New Additions List can be found on the Library webpage.  If you have other suggestion, please fill in the online form and we will get back to you whether the suggestion is endorsed or not.

What you need but cannot find…

…is also an important piece of information for us.  Please inform us when you cannot find material that you need for your study and research.  It can be in the form of suggestion of purchase or a simple email to library@hkapa.edu  We will follow up your request and check if the material that you are looking for is available at other local libraries or if it is available for purchase.  We will work with schools and departments to ensure that what we acquire will enhance the Library Collection as a whole.
