New Journal Request Form

Review Process

Because of the ongoing cost commitment for journal subscriptions, all journal requests are carefully reviewed. Factors that influence the approval of a journal subscription include:

  • the extent to which the journal supports the curriculum
  • whether it is indexed in sources available at Xavier University Library
  • whether there are similar titles in the collection
  • the cost of the journal

The library determines the allocation of budgeted monies that each academic department may use for new journal subscriptions.

Order Deadline

The deadline for requesting new periodicals is June 1st of each year.

Confirmation

Requesters will be notified of new periodical subscription request decisions after the review process is completed.

Questions about the status of an order may be directed to Sydney Sparks, Electronic Resources and Acquisitions Librarian.
