• Priority is given to books that support the curriculum and that are at an appropriate level for student research.
  • CapU Library strives to create a general knowledge collection appropriate to our institutional mandate. Some books not directly related to the curriculum are ordered at the discretion of the Collections Librarian and when the budget allows.
  • We encourage all books on faculty Recommended Reading lists be requested for purchase. However, CapU Library does not buy course textbooks.
