Use the “Hold for Me” button to request any item that has already been borrowed. When it is returned, we will check it out to you and email you to come pick it up at the library front desk. You can also borrow from another library.
Borrow from the other Campus
If the title you want is at the other UNE campus library, we will deliver it for you to pick up. Use the “Hold for Me” button and select your campus from the drop down list. Items are delivered within 2 business days.
Interlibrary Loan
If we do not have the title you need, we can get it to you for free from another library.
