Locating and Retrieving Library Materials

You may also designate an individual to borrow books in your name. This individual will be issued a “proxy borrower card” by staff at the Circulation Desk. Please contact

Photocopy Services

If you are unable to make photocopies, library staff will make copies for you. Materials will be photocopied, as staffing permits and by an agreed upon time, with 24 hours notice. You may pay for photocopies by purchasing a print / photocopy card on the fourth floor of Healey Library.
