THE LIBRARY, MONA
532
Reading Lists During the period under review, a total of 72 letters of request were sent to Heads of Departments and Administrative Assistants in the faculties of Medical Sciences, Humanities and Education, Social Sciences, Sport, and Science and Technology for submission of reading lists for the academic year. Reading lists for 156 courses were received and processed. Purchases and Gifts The Library continued to receive gift books and journals for addition to the col- lection through generous donations by faculty and friends of the Library. Of note, the challenge of purchasing some of the required or highly recommended texts in electronic format, from Library vendors persists. Some of the texts that are available in electronic format can cost up to four times the cost of the paperback version of the text.
