You asked for an easier method of getting access to library materials, and we were listening. Beginning for the spring semester, the UI Libraries is partnering with Central Mail Services to deliver books to your UI campus office, including Oakdale Campus and the UIHC.
Once you find a book you would like to check out, a request for delivery can be made in InfoHawk by logging in with your HawkID and password. You will have the option to request a book to be delivered to another library or to your office on campus. Materials will be available within five working days (excluding weekends and holidays) and an email notification will be sent when the book leaves the owning library.
There are a few exceptions to this new service. Materials from the Curriculum Resources Laboratory in the College of Education, State Historical Society of Iowa, Law Library in the College of Law are excluded. Reserve items, media material, and materials that circulate for short time periods (7 days or less) are also excluded from this service. However, Law Library materials and media materials from the Main Library Media Services can still be requested through the library to library delivery service.
