Visitor Request to use UMDNJ-Smith Library

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Serials/Acquisitions Department is responsible for the purchase of print books and journals for the George F. Smith Library of the Health Sciences.  The office is located on the C Level or upper level of the library, in room C921.

We purchase textbooks and course reserve materials in support of programs in all of the disciplines taught on the Newark campus.  (Electronic books are ordered for university-wide use through our E-Resources Department.)  If you’d like to recommend a book, please fill out the “Request a Book” form at

The most recently received print journals are located outside the Serials office on the C Level, in a display area for the current subscriptions which are not yet bound.  The George F. Smith Library’s bound journals are shelved in three different locations.  They are:

1988-PresentC-Level shelves adjacent to the current journals
1955-1988B-Level Shelves adjacent to the book collection
Prior to 1955Basement Shelves (available through request only)

The journals in the Smith Library’s print collection are non-circulating, but there are photocopiers available on the B and C levels. 

For questions about electronic journals, please contact our Electronic Services Librarian, Ela Sosnowska, at 973/973-4360 (2-4360), or via e-mail at sosnowsk@umdnj.edu.  It is the policy of the UMDNJ – University Libraries to license electronic resources, including journals, on a university-wide basis.
