University Libraries Delivery Services

Library users may request via InfoHawk that materials owned by one University of Iowa Library be sent and held for pickup at another University of Iowa Library or delivered to an office on the UI campus via campus mail. Requests submitted will be processed the following day (excluding weekends and holidays) and will be delivered within five working days.  An email notification will be sent when they are available for check-out or when they leave the owning library, if delivered to an office.  The loan period begins when the material is checked out.
