Suggest a new book or journal

The Library welcomes suggestions for new book purchases or journal subscriptions that support current courses, teaching, and research at the University of Newcastle.

To make a suggestion, please email library-orders@newcastle.edu.au with as much detail as possible:

  • Books: title, author, edition, publisher, year of publication, ISBN
  • Journals: title, publisher, ISSN

Where available, electronic formats will be preferred. All requests are carefully considered, and you will be notified of the outcome. Once purchased, new items will appear in Library Search.

Please note: Due to budget constraints, starting a new journal subscription may require the cancellation of an existing one.

For academic staff urgently requesting textbooks for new or revised courses, please also include:

  • Course name and code
  • Campus(es) where the course will be offered
  • Estimated number of students
