Physical Education and Recreation - Liaison Information

Budget Allocation
The Education (includes Physical Education) allocation for the 2004/2005 fiscal year is: $30,000

Book Requests
All book requests should be submitted via the online form, accessible from the Library home page: http://www.westga.edu/~library/rls.shtml. The deadline for requesting new books for the current fiscal year is December 15, 2004. Adhering to this date will allow the library's acquisitions staff time to notify you of “out of prints” so you can make alternate selections. Book orders should be placed for 110% of the Department allocation to cover discounts and out of print notifications. Book funds cannot be used for journal requests. In addition, only 20% of the allocation may be used for AV materials: videos, CDs, etc.

If you feel there are notable gaps in the collection or important reference sources that we lack, please contact me; I am always available to discuss your research and teaching needs and to make sure our collection development profile reflects those needs.

Periodical Requests
New periodical subscription requests are due by September 17 to ensure that we receive the first issues in 2005. A subscription request must be accompanied by a matching subscription cancellation request. There can be no extension of the journal request/change deadline as our periodical vendors cannot guarantee delivery of the January issues if we don’t have all orders placed by October 1. Requests should be made on the Web forms available from the Library home page at http://www.westga.edu/~library/rls.shtml.
