Paging & Pickup
If you are on campus and are interested in obtaining a print book, DVD or other items from the Library's collections, our Paging & Pickup service may be an option. You can request items as needed through the Library Catalog, and the Library will fill up to five requests per patron per day. Our goal is to make materials available within three business days. Items will be checked out to you by staff before pickup. Just bring your UChicago ID to the circulation desk at Regenstein Library.
Scan & Deliver
If you only need a chapter or two of a book, you can use our Scan and Deliver service to request a free scan to be sent to you.
Interlibrary Loan
If the book you need is checked out, or if it is not owned by the University of Chicago Library, you can request the item via interlibrary loan services.
Submit your request to Interlibrary Loan and we’ll get a copy as quickly as possible. Our automated system will determine the fastest and best way to get you the item, When possible, Interlibrary Loan will provide expedited delivery in roughly 4-5 days for items available from partner libraries at Big Ten Academic Alliance and Ivy Plus universities. Most loan periods are for 16 weeks.
