ELAN (Electronic Library Acquisitions Network)

ELAN is the electronic ordering system for library books, videos, CDs, and DVDs. Faculty are able to order materials in these formats through an online form. This form replaces the library order cards. The form is available by clicking on ELAN FORM below.

Faculty members placing library orders will receive an e-mail confirmation that ELAN has received the order, and a second e-mail notifying them that the material has been received and is ready for check-out.

This new electronic system will not only expedite the ordering process, but it will also enable the subject librarian to check the status of any specific title, at any time. ELAN is a great improvement for the library's collection development process, which will in turn benefit the faculty, the students and the Barry community. Please ask your subject area librarian for more information.

Library orders are placed in the order they were received. If it is a busy time of year, it may take a couple of months to get to your request . If you need the material rushed, just contact your library liaison and we can RUSH the order for you.

Remember all faculty requests should be placed by February 1st in order for them to come from the current year's budget. Any orders received after that time may have to wait for the following fiscal year.

ELAN FORM   (This form is for Faculty only! Other requests will not be honored.)
