Interested in Subject Specific Collection Development?

Midwest, our primary physical book vendor, shares new titles in major academic fields weekly, monthly, or semi-annually. If you'd like to receive notifications on new books published in your field, please email the Acquisitions Library Associate, Etana Laing (elaing@bowiestate.edu), and include your department and the frequency of notifications you would like. We look forward to expanding the academic resources at Bowie State!

Where is the Acquisitions Department?

The Acquisitions Department is located on the first floor of the library, Suite 1160, in the Technical Services area.
