Furthermore, UMM has an academic resources procurement procedure. First, a study programme every semester provides a list of new books needed to the Academic Administration Bureau (BAAIK). Then, BAAIK asks the UMM Central Library to check the availability of the books, including the number of copies needed in the study programme. Next, the requested books are procured by the library and BAAIK. Moreover, a study programme can improve the library collection by collaborating with UMM Press (the university press) to publish books or other academic resources as teaching and learning materials.
