Subject: Does the library still buy books?
Submitter: Susan A Certain, Acquisitions Coordinator, Library

Message:
The answer to that question is a resounding YES! As Lindell Library strives to provide support for a wide array of curriculum needs, we are ordering as many books as ever (plus we order nonprint formats such as DVD, VHS, CD, and E-Book).

Increasingly, orders are placed electronically. One of the most useful benefits of the internet is that out-of-print books and dealers are included. Through the internet we have the ability, when an old classic needs to be replaced, to find a source, verify availability and condition, and aquire it quickly. In fact, we could not function very well without the internet; it has become an integral part of acquiring and providing access to all forms of information for YOU, the information seeker.
