Once you have found the book you are looking for, click the link that says \u201cMarymount Request\u201d underneath \u201cavailability\u201d (you will need to be signed in). Fill out the form, select your pickup location, and click submit. Once your request has been submitted, you will see a green \u201crequest submitted\u201d update. <\/span><\/p>\n

 To request materials through the Washington Research Library Consortium (WRLC), use <\/span>MULibrary Search<\/span><\/a> to search for the item that you would like to request and select \u201cEverything\u201d as your search category. Once you have found the book you are looking for, click the link that says \u201cRequest Materials\u201d underneath \u201cavailability\u201d (you will need to be signed in). Fill out the form, select your pickup location, and click submit. Once your request has been submitted, you will see a green \u201crequest submitted\u201d update. If your request is able to be filled by a consortium library, it will typically be delivered in 2-3 business days. Requests that can\u2019t be filled by WRLC libraries will be forwarded to interlibrary loan. Further information on interlibrary loan, such as delivery timetables, is available in the \u2018How to Request an Item Through Interlibrary Loan\u2019 section below.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once your item is available to be picked up, you will receive an email notification. Items will be available for pickup at the Circulation Desk. Items will be held for 14 days, after which they will be returned to their home libraries. If you have any issues or questions regarding your request,  please contact us at <\/span>mucirc@marymount.edu<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n
