Contactless Pickup of Many Cook Library Books is Now Available!

Stack of Books with a paper bag with the Cook Library logo on the frontNeed a book at Cook? Current TU faculty, students, and staff can now request many TU library books. We’ll check the books out and then you can pick the books up when we’re open in the library lobby.

Due to construction on the 5th floor, books with call numbers A-M are unavailable and cannot be requested. We expect to make these items available sometime this fall, but time sensitive needs will be better met by contacting your liaison librarian to locate alternatives.

Interlibrary loan services are currently available for requesting electronic materials, which may be a helpful substitute for getting a book chapter that’s inaccessible on the 5th floor.

Only Cook Library items are available for pick up at Cook Library. Other USMAI libraries have not opened their collections to be sent to our library.

How do you request a book?

  • Find an available Cook Library book or other item on the Library website
  • Click on the “Request Item” link
  • Follow the prompts through the “Confirm Request” button to complete your request
  • We will pull the item from our shelves and check it out to you
  • We will send you an email letting you know when your item is ready for pickup
  • Pick up your item in the Library lobby during open hours
  • Items will be available for pickup for 10 days before being reshelved.

You can check the status of your book requests and loans by signing in to your account on the library website.
