Designed for Higher Education Workflows

This form captures essential information about departmental needs, course objectives, and collection priorities—all in one place. Faculty can request specific materials, propose new database subscriptions, schedule instruction sessions, and outline subject areas that need attention. Library staff receive structured requests that include budget context, timing requirements, and pedagogical goals, making it easier to prioritize and respond effectively.

Once a faculty member submits their request, Stepper can route it to the appropriate subject librarian, create tasks in your library management system, send calendar invites for instruction sessions, and keep both parties updated on collection orders and request status. You can build workflows that automatically schedule follow-up meetings, notify stakeholders when new resources are available, and track liaison engagement across departments—all without manual email chains or spreadsheet tracking.

Perfect for Academic Libraries and Research Institutions

This template is ideal for university libraries, college libraries, and research institutions seeking to improve faculty-librarian collaboration. It's designed to fit the workflows of instruction librarians, collection development coordinators, subject specialists, and library directors who want to provide responsive, department-specific support that directly impacts teaching and scholarship.
