Eligibility/Cost

Currently enrolled students, faculty and staff are eligible to utilize the Materials on Demand (MoD) service. The library assumes all costs associated with MoD. 

Turnaround Time

The average turn-around time for physical materials is 7-10 days and copies are 2-4 days. Article requests are quicker with turnaround times from same day to up to 4 days as they're delivered electronically. Although, these requests are all pending the response time from the lending library.

Checkouts/Renewals

Most lending periods are 4-6 weeks with 1-2 renewals available. Renewals are allowed at the discretion of the lending library. Please contact Materials of Demand (MoD) to inquire about material renewals. 

Pick-up/Return

All physical materials must be picked up from our Luxer Smart Locker system, which is located outside of room 2-202 in the AB during normal building hours. Articles are delivered electronically and come through a secured email. You will receive an email on how to retrieve when either item is available.

You may return materials in the library return slot/drop-box, which is located in the hall, directly across from Room 2205, to the left of the library doors. This is also accessible during AB building hours. 

Amount of Requests

There is currently no limit on the amount of requests, but we ask that you please be realistic with the amount of materials you request at one time. 

Overdue/Damaged/Lost Materials

After 30 days past the due date you may be subject to restricted library privileges. Failure to return material or returning the material damaged may result in replacement fees. The fee amount will be set by the lending library.
