Bilkent University Library members can suggest adding new materials to the library collection. This service is available only to Bilkent University’s academic and administrative staff and students.

Submitting Requests

• Before requesting materials, the library catalog and subscription databases should be checked to ensure the material is not already available in the library. 
• The reason must be specified if requesting multiple copies of the same material or if requesting materials in different formats. 
• Material requests can be submitted via the Material Request Form, email, official letter, or through the respective faculty librarian.

Evaluation Process

• Material requests are evaluated according to the library’s collection development policy. 
• The evaluation results are communicated to the requestors via their library account or email.
• Journal and database subscriptions are usually processed at the end of the year.
• The final decision on adding materials to the collection is made by the collection development team and/or library management.

For detailed information about material requests, you can contact your faculty librarian.
