Public and Secondary School Library Collection Development Resource

Published with the help and support of two divisions of the American Library Association (ALA): the American Association of School Librarians (AASL) and the Collection Development and Evaluation Section of the Reference and User Services Association (CODES/RUSA).

University presses represent an often-undiscovered gold mine of resources for school and public libraries. Many books and reference works from scholarly publishers are valued far beyond the walls of academe. They can be the building blocks of learning and growing for high-school students, general readers, independent researchers, and involved citizens. For more than 25 years, a volunteer panel of Public Library Association and AASL librarians have annually reviewed and selected 300+ titles published by Association member presses to build this valued collection development resource.

The bibliography is released in both print and online editions, distributed freely to 10,000+ librarians. Book entries include key bibliographic data, a thumbnail description, and a CODES/RUSA (public librarian reviewer) and/or AASL rating. There was a brief gap in publishing after 2017 due to programmatic transitions; a new edition for 2019/2020 is in production.

Find Books & More

All Library Books:  OneSearch  includes information about millions of books and ebooks, including those that Robertson Library owns or has temporary access to. Choose Books Only  when you search so that you don't also see articles, videos, and other items.

Not sure how to find the book? The Ebooks vs. Print Books  page has details about call numbers and full text links.

If you find information about a book in OneSearch but there's no call number, full text link, or "Find @ UPEI" link, use  Interlibrary Loan  to request a copy from another library.

Print Books Only:   The Library catalogue includes the books in the Library Stacks, the physical reference collection, and other physical items, including Special Collections materials and physical media. 

Find Books Everywhere In

• Other PEI Libraries :
• PEI Public Library Service
• Holland College
• The  Other Library Catalogues  page has links to individual library catalogues in Atlantic Canada and beyond.
• U.S. and Other World Libraries : Search WorldCat to search across most US libraries, many Canadian libraries, and several other included countries. Also includes in search results a large citation-only article index, a US government document index, and a conference papers/proceedings index. (Again, information about  UPEI's own holdings in this database are not up to date.)
• Google Books : Search the full text of over 30 million books. Books out of copyright may be read entirely online; others will give you only a snippet or other tiny portion. If you find something that UPEI does not own, but that you would like to read, request it from Interlibrary Loan  and we will try to borrow it from another library for you.
• LibX Toolbar : This toolbar provides custom Autolinks and search functions to Library collections from Google Scholar, Amazon and other pages with book or article citations. Chrome version   Firefox version

People who are registered users at OhioLINK member libraries have access to a virtual statewide library. To find the books and other materials owned by your library, search your library's catalog .

If your own library doesn't have what you're looking for, search the OhioLINK Library Catalog . Books and some audiovisual materials can be requested from other member libraries as follows:

• Locate the desired book or AV item in the OhioLINK catalog.
• Click REQUEST THIS ITEM.
• Select your institution from the list.
• Fill in your name and ID number.
• Select where you want to pick up the item; you can pick it up at any OhioLINK library that is most convenient to you.
• The system chooses a lending library and sends the request.
• The item is delivered within 2-3 days to the pickup location you requested.

For more information, see Frequently Asked Questions .

Contact your library for check-out information and loan policies. You can renew an OhioLINK book if it is not overdue or needed back at the owning library. To renew online, view your circulation record in your local library catalog.

You can also borrow items directly from any OhioLINK library in person. Bring proof of your affiliation with an OhioLINK institution, such as a picture ID.

If you are looking for a book that is not available at your own library or any other OhioLINK library, please check with the Interlibrary Loan department of your library.

Check with the reference librarians at your library. They have information about the services of your own library and further recommendations on appropriate sources (electronic or print) to meet your information needs.

Book pickup and delivery services

Welcome! This service is available to University of Waterloo faculty, postdoctoral fellows, students and staff.

The service is limited to print materials in Omni , the Library's catalogue, listed as "available" and where a digital version is not readily available at our Library. Omni searches and displays results from 18 partner libraries throughout Ontario.

Placing requests

• Place your request through  Omni , the Library's catalogue.
• After locating the item,  sign in using your WatIAM credentials.
• You will see “available at..”
• “Get if from a Waterloo Library” OR
• “Request a digitized chapter/article/excerpt”
• Click on “ Not available locally, click for more options”
• Select “Get it from another library”
• Fill out the appropriate details and select your preferred pickup location from the drop-down list.
• Click “Submit”.
• You will see a "Your request was successfully placed" message and you will also be able to see your request in your library account.

Notification of availability

Requests will be processed as they come in. Library staff will contact you if there are any questions about your request.

You will receive notification for each print item that is available for pickup.

Your item will be held for seven days from the date you receive your notice.

Note: If you chose the Lockers Pickup @ Student Life Centre pickup location, you will receive an additional email from Luxer One with details on how to retrieve your books from the lockers. Books will be held in the lockers for three days before being moved to the Dana Porter Library hold shelf.

Requested items will be mailed out to any address within Canada or campus office location.

As part of the process, patrons will receive an email asking for confirmation of the mailing address. If your request is for a book from an Omni partner library, you will also receive a second notice from that university.

Prepaid return shipping labels will be provided for off-campus addresses.

Picking up requests

• One piece of ID is required to pickup your materials (WatCard preferred).
