While the Libraries may be closed, you can still get items you need through the Libraries’ contactless pickup service.  With your UMass Amherst NetID and password, you can request many items from the Libraries’ collections and the Four College Libraries through Discovery search.  We will retrieve the item for you and notify you when your books, DVDs, or other items are ready for you to pickup. Some library items do not circulate and some items may not be available.  We will notify you if your request cannot be filled.   Please note: by virtue of our membership in HathiTrust, we are providing temporary online full-text access to library-owned print volumes for which HathiTrust stewards a scanned copy.  Search results and records indicate the title may be available in HathiTrust with a link to the online text and the availability indicates it is in HathiTrust. While this temporary access is available, we cannot loan print copies of those items. See details about how to access the online version via HathiTrust.] 

Library materials through US Postal Service
If you’d prefer us to mail materials from the Libraries collections to you, submit a request for the item(s) you want via the  Library Express  service. Be sure to select your “delivery” preference and make sure the mailing address in your account is accurate when making your request.   Contact  ill@umass.library.umass.edu with any questions 

Physical items, such as DVDs and print books, may be difficult to supply due to the closure of other libraries.  Any physical items we are able to borrow will be available through contactless pickup.  For that reason, some requests may be delayed due to the closure of other libraries.
