How do I go about donating a newly released book?

16th July, 2011 ~ 1 comment

Hi,

I was involved in a community book project in Singapore that featured a collection of stories by people with depression.

More information about this book, entitled Overcoming, can be found here

I was wondering if I can donate it to the UQ Library?

Please look into a university subscription to IMAIOS e-anatomy online tutorials, it appears to be a great resource.

Hi,

As there is a strong social psychological influence within the SBS faculty, the following book summs up reserach from one of the most significant people within the field. As such, would be an invaulable resource for the library to have.
the book is titeled.

Social Cognition, Social Identity, and Intergroup Relations (2011).
A Festschrift in Honor of Marilynn B. Brewer
Edited by Roderick M. Kramer, Geoffrey J. Leonardelli and Robert W. Livingston.

It would be great if receipts for loans were at least optional which would save a lot of paper and it would benefit the environment. It would be even better if the people who wanted the information on the receipt would write it down themselves or go online.

On the below listed webpage on the library website it says under the heading:-
Who can use the Document Delivery service?
UQ undergraduates are entitled to use this service during semester 1 2008 as part of a trial.
I just wanted to suggest that perhaps this text should be updated now we are no longer in trial mode, to more clearly state that undergraduates are also automatically registered as part of their membership of the Library to use the Document Delivery Service.
