How can I request and checkout physical items from the Libraries?

Our library locations are currently open, and you are welcome to browse the stacks in-person and check out books.

If you prefer, you may continue to utilize our request system and have items retrieved for you. To checkout a book or other physical item:

  • Use the library catalog to locate the item.
  • Login to your library account to place your request.
  • Library staff will pull the item, and you will receive an email when the item is ready to be picked up at the Information Desk or other designated area.
  • If you encounter difficulty placing your request, email fencirc@gmu.edu for assistance.
