If you find a physical item you would like to borrow, library staff can loan it to you at the front desk or you can use the self-checkout (Meescan!).

Devices will be available at the front desk and not accessible on the shelves.

If you find a library item at another campus, place a request to pick it up from the campus closest to you (this is free!).

A student ID or photo ID will be checked at the front desk. Click here for details on what to do if you don’t have either of those options.
