When and where can I pick up library materials I've requested?

When

  • You will receive an email from the Library letting you know that your item is ready for pickup.
    • During the first few weeks of the semester this may take a few days - we receive a high volume of requests during this time. 
  • See our library hours page for days and times the library or service window is open to pick up items.
