Faculty & Staff Book Delivery
Access Services at LSU Library offers a Book Delivery service for faculty and staff. Materials requested from LSU Library and from Interlibrary Loan are delivered directly to departmental mailboxes on campus.
To use the service, patrons should request books through their Interlibrary Loan account and specify a delivery option: either hold for pickup at the library or deliver to a departmental mailbox. The library retrieves the item from our holdings or borrows it from another library, then delivers it to a department mailbox. The service typically delivers local books in 2-3 business days and interlibrary loans book 2-3 days after they arrive at the library.
