Office Requests

"My Office" becomes an available delivery location on HoyaSearch 2-3 business days after the registration form is complete.

  • Not all requests will arrive at the same time when multiple requests exist.
  • Requests placed during the first week of classes, intersession, academic breaks, exams, extreme weather, or approved University holidays experience increased demand and wait times.
  • Interlibrary Loans are not eligible for Office Delivery. Interlibrary Loan materials are owned by libraries around the world and pose unique challenges within Library Management Systems. Items may not be delivered to off-site locations due to authoritative guidelines related to confidentiality, borrowing, and ownership of materials. Available items may still be picked up at the selected Library Pickup Location.
  • Multiple item requests may be limited to 5 items per delivery. Items appearing in the online library catalog as "Oversized Folios" or very heavy items may be routed to the hold shelf or will take longer to arrive when they require multiple trips.
