I was asked about this today, and thought I would send out a message to the LLOs and Library Committee along these lines:

Now is an ideal time to inform the Library about any book orders you require for Semester 1, 2024. We anticipate closing the 2023 book ordering process in November for a few reasons:

• To allow the Library team time to process invoices and acquire as many items as possible within this year’s budget
• To complete financial reporting requirements in time for year end
• To minimise the volume of pending orders that would need to be transferred to the 2024 budget, and to our new library management system.

Email address for submitting orders: acquisitions@libr.canterbury.ac.nz (or your subject librarian). There is also our online request form.
