To borrow the book temporarily, place an interlibrary loan request for the book using the following form: https://www.cognitoforms.com/UniversityOfMiamiLibraries1/BooksJournalsInterlibraryLoanAndPhotocopyRequestForm. Interlibrary loan is a service in which the Calder Library will borrow the book from another library on your behalf so you may check it out, free of charge.

To request that the Calder Library purchase a book for permanent addition to the collection, place a request using the purchase/subscription request form: https://www.cognitoforms.com/UniversityOfMiamiLibraries1/PurchaseSubscriptionRequestForm2. Requests will be reviewed by the library and are subject to approval. You will be contacted regarding the decision.
