Harold B. Lee Library

Good News for Graduate Students

January 24, 2008

Graduate Students can now use the FACULTY DELIVERY button on an item record to request the retrieval and hold-for-pickup of Harold B. Lee Library books. The library also offers graduate students electronic document delivery of our periodicals.

When graduate students request a book or a document they will receive an e-mail when it is ready for pick up at the Circulation Desk on level 3 of the library. Graduate students who request electronic documents will also receive notification on how to access their materials via e-mail. The library has added this service to support the needs of graduate students. The library offers a number of services such as document hold-for-pickup, free subject librarian consultations, and advanced digital search tools that save students time.

    and yet you still only let us check out 15 items at a time.

    Marcilyn, we do MUCH better for our Graduate Students than a 15 item check-out limit! See “check-out privileges” on the library webpage under SERVICES. We allow 50 items to be checked out at a time for a 13 week period with renewals allowed. AND we are happy to negotiate an extended item limit if the patron’s need isn’t met with the standard limit.

    We hope offering document delivery service will serve to save you additional time, effort and stress.

    Thank you!!!!

    Quick question: Can we request reference materials, too, or just things that can be checked out?

  6. Editor on January 31st, 2008 at 11:02 am:

    The document delivery service is only for items that can be circulated or copied. Reference materials are kept at the reference desks and can’t be pulled by the document delivery staff. Thanks for asking.

    What is the electronic delivery service for periodicals? Can you give more information about that?

    This is a tremendous news.
    I wish I was a graduate student!!!

    Jordan and all:

    “Electronic delivery service of periodicals” refers to our service of retrieving and scanning requested journal articles which are then delivered to the patron’s ILLiad account for viewing, download, or printing. An Email alert is sent to the patron advising when the article is available — usually 24 hours.

    It should be a great time saver for our Grad Students!
