Recommendation

If you have any specific purchase suggestions for your subject area you can send a request by completing the form recommended purchases.

Requests by academic staff members and students of the Radboud University outweigh requests by people who are not associated to the university. A publication needs to match the collection formation policy of the University Library. Budgets are considered too. You will receive an email if your request is granted.
