I just found out that a book about the Caribbean that I want to read has been recently published by Yale University. How can I select it?
If it is a book related to the subject but published in the United States, you should order it following the normal procedure using the Purchase Recommendation form.

Will similar initiatives exist to continue buying Caribbean books next year?
This initiative is meant to alleviate the consequences that COVID has created in the acquisition process in our library. Our goal is also to discover future needs for which we will acquire new material using normal procedures.
