Request a Book That Is Stored Off-Site

When searching in the catalog, you may find a book whose location is listed as OFF-SITE.

To have that book retrieved, simply click the Request It button that appears on the left hand side of the record you are viewing.

Once you click the Request It button a Verification screen will open. Enter your name (exactly as it appears on your NYLS ID card) and the barcode appearing on the back of your NYLS ID card. You must select a pick-up location, which should be “circulation desk,” or the request will not go through. Books requested from off-site before 3:00 pm on weekdays should arrive within two business days. Books requested over the weekend should arrive by mid-week. You will be notified by e-mail when the requested book is available for pick-up from the Circulation Desk.

If you have any questions, please contact Ping Tian, Circulation Librarian, at 212 431-2838 or by e-mail at ping.tian@nyls.edu.
