The Click & Collect retrieval and pickup service (now expanded to a daily service!) allows UC users to request printed library materials in the Library Catalog for pickup at designated locations. Requests made daily Monday-Friday are typically available the next business day. Users should wait for an e-mail pickup notice before coming to the library to pick up requested items. There is a limit of 10 items per request/25 a week.
Due dates have been automatically set for February 15. When searching for print materials in the Library Catalog, items with the status of “Click & Collect” are available for request. Items from one library location cannot be requested for pickup at another library location.
At the Chem-Bio Library,
- All requested Chem-Bio items will be picked up from the Geo-Math-Physics Library, 240 Braunstein Hall. No pickup is available at Chem-Bio Library.
- Chem-Bio textbook reserve books with a status of "Click & Collect" can be requested through the Library Catalog.
