Find an article that we only have in print in the library catalog? If an article is only available in print, library staff will scan the article and send it to you.

Help Guide: Requesting Copies of Articles the Library has in Print

1. Check the e-journals list to make sure we don't have the article online 
2. Check the library catalog to make sure we have a print subscription to the journal for the dates you need.
   
3. Complete the request form.

Search the Library Catalog to find materials available from the library. See tips for searching the catalog. Complete a request form for the materials you would like sent to you.

Contact Britt for help accessing any materials that list "Noncirculating" as their status.

Books Not Owned by USU

Need a book that is not owned by USU? We will first try to quickly purchase the book, rush the cataloging, and send it to you. If it is not feasible to purchase the book, we will borrow the book through Interlibrary Loan and send the book to you. Regardless, all you need to do is complete the RCDE book request form for any book that you need send to you.

Requesting Print Materal:

• Materials will be shipped to homes and businesses via UPS; a street address is required as UPS will not deliver to post office boxes.
• Return material to RCDE Library Services via the pre-paid mailing label sent with all loaned materials. Materials are returned via the US Postal Service.
• Borrowing periods are:
  Undergraduate Students = 4 weeks
  Faculty, Staff, and Graduate students = 16 weeks
  Moore Library (children's) materials = 4 weeks with no renewals
• Renew your materials online or place holds on items by logging into your library account with your A number and password. Material may be renewed twice unless someone else has requested the item. The renewal period is the same as the original loan period except for undergradutes whose extension is 3 weeks.
  

Please contact Britt if you run into problems or have any questions.

You can request videos be sent to your home or office via the Book & Video Request Form.

• A pre-paid return shipping label will be included with the video.
• Please include a note in the Notes box that you are requesting a video.
• We are not able to obtain videos via Interlibrary Loan.

Borrowing Materials from the Libraries

Materials are available to USU students, faculty, and staff outside of Cache Valley.

No fees are charged directly for ordering materials. However, borrowers are responsible for all loaned materials and fees will be charged for overdue, lost, or damaged items. 

Materials are loaned for a guaranteed 2 weeks after which time they may be recalled by another library user. Recalls occur when another user requests checked out material or items are needed for Course Reserves. Recalled items may not be renewed and must be returned within one week of notification.

Requesting Articles

Only copies of individual articles can be provided, not entire issues of journals.

If you would like to request the library get an electronic subscription to a specific journal, contact Britt or your subject librarian.

If the library does not have a print or electronic subscription to the journal you need, you can request the article via Interlibrary Services. This process works very similarly to requesting print articles through RCDE Library Services.
