Library Recommendation Form

While perusing the literature, or searching the Internet, have you come across a book, journal, or some media that you believe would be beneficial to the University? Then, after searching, you find that the library doesn't own the item. The Pumerantz Library has a mechanism in place to help you make a request of the library, our purchase recommendation form.

The online form is available for you to quickly fill in and request that the library review the item for possible eventual purchase.

If you have any questions please contact the Reference and Outreach department at 909-469-2353 or by email at reference@westernu.edu.

New e-book!



Does poor writing hold you back from getting the grades or grants you want? Do you want to make sure readers understand your ideas so that your research can have the proper impact? Do you want to read about Francis Crick and Michael Crichton mock terrible science writing?

If your answer to any of these questions is “yes,” you must read Christopher Dant’s Writing in Science & Medicine: The Investigator’s Guide to Writing for Clarity and Style. The 90-page guide reviews basic writing principles, offers detailed before and after examples, and provides practical writing exercises.

You will need a WesternU username and password to access this e-book. If you have any further questions please contact the library at 909-469-5476, toll free at 1-866-704-1660 or by email at reference@westernu.edu.
