We are a very small seminary and been doing that since the beginning as a part of our institutional archive collection. The library director is a member of the faculty council and publicizes this in that body. Sometimes faculty do donate their book to the library. In a large school like yours, you might want to use all the means of communications available, including the dean’s office newsletters if any and other faculty bodies on campus such as a faculty council.
All the best,

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [ALCTS-acqnet] Fw: [ALCTScentral] Acquisition program for faculty-authored books
Dear colleagues,
UConn Library is planning a program to start systematically acquiring UConn faculty-published books (monographs) for inclusion in our collections. Does your library run such a program? How is it scoped, e.g., do you buy books where your faculty contributed only a chapter? How do you obtain lists of faculty-authored works? Any tech specs would be very helpful, if you’re willing to share.
Regards,
Michael Rodriguez (he/him/his)
