Material Retrieval and Electronic Delivery

Circulation services will provide material retrieval using the document delivery service, ILLiad. Requests are for those with temporary and permanent disabilities. Our goal is to have the items ready for pick 24 hours after the request.

Instructions: Items not picked up after 48 hours after the email notification will be returned to the shelf, unless other arrangements have been made.

Reference Assistance

Reference assistance is available in the libraries and by phone, email, chat, and texting. For access to these services visit our Ask a Question Service at: http://libraries.unl.edu/ask. If you have a specialized question or reference request that may require extensive assistance, we recommend setting up an appointment with a subject librarian who specializes in your subject field. For more information, visit: http://libraries.unl.edu/subjspecialists.

Library staff will assist you with using library resources and software. However we do not provide legal or medical advice, nor do we assist patrons with writing letters, reports or correspondence of any kind.

Persons with disabilities who need extensive help using library resources and services are advised to bring an aide to assist them. If an aide is not available, appointments for assistance are preferred, as immediate service cannot be guaranteed. Reference Desk: 402-472-2848, TTY-Hearing Impaired: 402-472-2561

Authorized User Form

The Authorized User Service is intended to provide the UNL community with the option to authorize others to retrieve materials from the UNL libraries. All authorized users must be 18 years of age and must have an UNL NCard or UNL Libraries Community User Card. To complete the form the designated user and the original library requester NCard is needed. Authorized User Service also allows the authorized user(s) to pick up Interlibrary Loan materials.
