Wolfson College Cambridge: Suggest a book

Suggest a Book Purchase

We can't always buy what you ask for but we take every suggestion seriously. We have to think about how it relates to taught courses and research interests of the College. Consideration may be given to the likely number of users and the longevity of a title when deciding whether to make a purchase. We'll always get back to you to let you know whether we have decided to buy a book or not.

Books often arrive within a few days but occasionally we use specialist books suppliers or source second-hand copies that may take longer to arrive. We will always get back to you if that is the case. Please try to think ahead and suggest any titles you know you will need for a certain date in good time.

This form below is for books for Wolfson Library. If you would like to suggest a book for your Faculty or Departmental Library or for the University Library, then please follow this link and complete that form instead.
