The Library intentionally collects materials that strengthen faith and promote spiritual development (D&C 88:118). Because of the breadth of its mission and research orientation, the Library must also make materials available that some may find trivial, challenging, or offensive. Acquisition of such materials does not constitute an endorsement. If the Library receives a request to remove an item from its collections, a decision will be made consistent with collection development policies, based on whether the item is appropriate for the curricular needs and research interests of BYU students and faculty. Access to broad library collections is essential to the free inquiry established by BYU’s Academic Freedom Policy.

Once the form has been completed and sent, the Collection Development Coordinator will contact the individual.
