The Department of Exercise Science has a faculty liaison, Dr. Robert Axtell, with the Acquisitions Department at Buley Library. Each faculty member orders books, videotapes, curriculum materials, and health education modules on a regular basis. The department liaison accepts and processes requests from the faculty, both full and part time members. The liaison processes the requests through the library for acquisition. Graduate student requests and suggestions are regularly solicited and materials are purchased to be added to the library.
