How do I request that the library purchase a book?

Answer

There are several ways to request to have the library purchase a book that you are interested in whether for a course, general reading, or pleasure reading.  The easiest way is to contact the librarian who is responsible for the department or subject area of the book.  A listing of the librarians by department can be found at http://libguides.uis.edu/librarians.  

To request popular books and media use the Popular Book Request Form

There is also a Materials Request Form which can be used to request items.
