Yes, this semester we have implemented Andruss Express Pick Up. See below for directions:

How To Submit a Request
- Go to the CU Library Catalog search for a physical, print title (not an ebook).
- Once you find the item you want, use the "Sign In" (SSO)
- Once you've signed in and found your book, look for the "Get It" link
- If the title that you want resides in your home campus Library (i.e. Stevenson Library for Lock Haven students), you will see a Request Pickup link. Use that link and fill out the brief, accompanying and select Request. You will receive an email letting you know that the book is waiting for you at your campus Library.
- If the title you want resides in another CU Library other than your campus Library, you will se a "Request thru Interlibrary Loan" link. Select that link, and fill out the brief, accompanying form. You will receive an email letting you know that the book is waiting for you at your campus Library.
