How do I know when a book is in the library?

Liaisons You are always notified via e-mail when we receive items an item that were ordered on their department's funds.
Other faculty in your department normally are not notified when items they requested arrive in the library. We recommend that you work out a method of disbursing this information within your department.

We do provide two special services. Request either of these services by either clicking the appropriate button on the web order form or by writing "Notify" or "Hold" on your orders.

Notify: A slip is sent to the requester indicating that the item is now in the library. These slips are usually sent daily, so they provide much faster notice than the slips that are normally sent to liaisons.

Hold: The item does not go to library stacks for general use. Instead it is held you ordered. The items ordered will go to the library stacks for general use, but we provide a special Hold service, which allows you to request that the item you ordered by held for you at the Circulation Desk. A notice is sent to the requestor indicating that the item is now in the library and on hold for him/her. If not picked-up and checked-out within 14 days the item will be moved to the stacks for general use.

Items usually arrive within three two months, but Collection Building orders may take substantially longer.
