Faculty Can Request Library Delivery in BruKnow!
|
The Library is pleased to announce that Brown faculty members can now request delivery of physical library materials to a campus address from within BruKnow, the online library catalog.
This new enhancement to library services will make it easier for busy faculty members to access the Library’s extensive circulating collection materials without taking time to visit a campus library location.
While the Library has offered campus delivery upon request in the past, the new streamlined request process in BruKnow makes requesting more visible, accessible, and efficient.
How to request campus mail delivery:
- Locate the item in BruKnow.
- Click “Request Item.”
- Select “Faculty Office Address” from the dropdown menu under “Pickup Location.”
The Library’s Access Services team will pull the items, check them out to your account, securely package them, and send them via interoffice mail to your campus office address currently on file in the library system. You’ll receive a confirmation email when the materials have shipped. Because campus mail delivery times vary, you can expect to receive the package a few business days after you submit the request in BruKnow.
Please note:
- Materials can only be sent to Brown campus addresses.
- Delivery will default to the campus address on file in your library account. To verify or change your address, log into My Library Account.
- Picking up items in person at a library location is the fastest way to receive materials.
