For academic libraries, What is your policy concerning requests from
faculty to purchase professional forms, workbooks and flash cards to
be added to the general library collections?

About the only thing we've done along these lines is to add a line to
our Collection Management Policy stating that "items acquired must be
housed in our library" and "must be available to the entire campus
community." This was in response to requests for psychological tests
that must normally be restricted to licensed psychologists. You've got
a good point, though. I don't know that we'd mind the flashcards, but
we wouldn't want to be purchasing consumable forms. I may have to add
another line to our policy.
