The Baylor University Libraries have over two million volumes, more than 300 web resources, and new materials are being added every day. Nevertheless, the research needs of our faculty and students are so extensive and diverse that there is an on-going demand for more titles than the library budget can cover.

The items on this page are library materials of significant interest to the Baylor libraries. Titles are linked to publisher web sites, or other pages giving more information about the items. The list is shared in hopes that interested donors might sponsor the purchase or subscription fee for items in a subject area of interest.

Items preceded by the gold star are "Most Wanted."
