Borrowing

Please have your active PUID card available to check out any material from the libraries. Notify the libraries if your PUID is lost or stolen. Notify the libraries if material is lost or stolen. If you do not have an active PUID, you may be eligible for a visitor’s borrowing card. Ask staff at any Circulation Desk for details or check Visitor Information.

There is a limit of 200 items you can have checked out to your account at one time.

Requesting

Current faculty (including visiting scholars), staff, and students with an active PUID and visitors with an active borrowing card may request materials from the Libraries for pickup at any campus location. Faculty, staff, and visiting scholars who request materials be delivered to their on-campus building (i.e., KRAN) should expect delivery within 2–3 business days via campus mail. Campus mail option is not available for Purdue Indianapolis users. Emeritus faculty and official retirees who retain access to their PUID and library account may also request materials for pickup from any campus library location. There is currently no limit on the number of items you can request at one time. Not all print collections are available for request. If you have questions about what you can and cannot request, please contact us for assistance.

As part of our document delivery services, if you request via Interlibrary Loan a book owned by Purdue, Libraries staff will place a request on the book for you through your Libraries’ My Account and the book will be delivered to you according to the method you provided on the original interlibrary loan request (includes Personal Delivery—please see below for more information).
