Purchase requests for teaching resources 

Providing students with access to resources to support teaching and learning is one of the Library’s core objectives. Access to Library resources for teaching will be provided through:
  • Online Resource Lists for all appropriate courses
  • Prioritisation of online access to Library resources for Essential and Recommended course readings
  • Purchase of print copies where no suitable e-book licence is available
  • The acquisition of online content, including eTextbooks where available, to provide access to key texts on a course

 

Course Organisers must use their Resource List to request the acquisition of new resources to support teaching and these purchase request forms will only be used for items which are related to research or other non-teaching purposes.

 

Resource List deadlines for 2024/25:
  • Semester 1: Monday 1 July 2024
  • Semester 2 : Monday 21 October 2024

Update your Resource Lists and send them to the Library to review or to set up by the deadlines above to ensure materials for teaching are available to students for the start of each semester.

If the Semester deadline has passed, you can still request new items for teaching using your Resource List.

Requests received by the Semester deadlines will be prioritised. All other requests will be prioritised by date received.

If you wish the Library to purchase additional teaching resources throughout the year, please add these to your Resource List and send your list for review.

Help on how to use your Resource List to submit a purchase request.

 

If you do not have a Resource List and would like the Library to set up a list for your courses, please send your list to the Library using the online form or contact Library.Learning@ed.ac.uk
