Q. How do I know if PUL will be buying a particular book or may I make a purchase request?

Most new scholarly monographs (books) that are within the library's collecting scope will arrive automatically. If in doubt, reach out to the appropriate subject specialist librarian to determine if a particular title is coming to us. The optimal method is to fill out the online Purchase Request form (located in the Libraries & Collections menu, then Recommend a Purchase). PUL staff are more than happy to know about titles we ought to have, we missed, or one needs for research purposes, including e-resources, e-books, serial titles, videos, etc. In some cases, we may rely on the holdings of a partner institution if easily accessible to us.
