If you are unable to physically access an item, please ask a staff member at the Information Desk on the main floor to retrieve the item for you. We also offer a hold service to faculty, staff, and students. You can request items through the online library catalog to be held for pickup at the library.
If you need materials in large print or other accessible formats, we will try to obtain them for you from another library through the Interlibrary Loan service. We rely on the libraries we borrow from for these materials.
We are currently developing a policy on proxy borrowing.
