What Can Be Requested

Non-Circulating Materials
- Reference and selected other materials do not circulate, and therefore cannot be requested. Some Josten Library materials, such as scores, may be borrowed in person, but not requested online.

Pickup
- Pickup for Smith patrons is at Neilson Library or Hillyer/Josten Libraries if you select a branch location and at the home library for Five College patrons. You will be notified when the item is ready for pickup. Items will be held at the circulation desk for 7 days after they arrive.
