Access to Physical Collections
The physical collection will still be available to patrons during the library closure. To request physical items, log into the library catalog, and click on the “Request It” button for the item(s) you want. Library staff will pull items, check them out to your account, and place them in the Library lobby for pick-up. Library staff will be processing requests for print materials Tuesdays through Thursdays. An email notification will be sent when your materials are available.
Faculty who are working on campus may choose “Office Delivery." Deliveries will be made on Wednesdays. Faculty teaching remote or on sabbatical, and students taking fully remote courses, can request items for “Home Delivery.”
InterLibrary Services (Scan & Deliver and InterLibrary Loan) will still be processed as usual.
Please note that it may take up to a week for physical materials to be made available due to restricted building access. Any questions regarding borrowing library materials can be directed to library@fairfield.edu.
