Did you know that you can request materials from the libraries’ circulating collections for curbside pickup? The library’s new discovery system, OneSearch, provides a seamless way to request books and other materials.
Here’s how to make a request:
- Go to https://library.richmond.edu and scroll down to the OneSearch box.
- Enter your search terms and click the magnifying glass icon.
- Find the item that you want (there are lots of filters on the left that help you narrow your results) and click on its title.
- Scroll down to “Get it” and click the “Sign in” icon.
- Follow the prompt to log in with your UR ID and password.
- Click on “Request: Place a Hold or Pick-up Request” (under “Get it”).
- If you need to add any info to your request, you can, but it’s not required. You can just click “Send Request”.
- Items to be picked up at Boatwright are placed on carts at the entrance to the library and can be picked up anytime Boatwright is open. Items will be marked with your first initial and last name. Parsons Music Library staff will contact the borrower about arranging pickup of materials from that location.
For questions or additional assistance, faculty, staff and students who need books or other physical items from Boatwright may also contact boatwrightcirc@richmond.edu. For Parsons Music Library Materials, contact Linda Fairtile (lfairtil@richmond.edu).
