  • etc.

Email your completed requests to:

We process requests on a first-come, first-served basis.
"Crunch time” submissions, within two weeks of the beginning of the semester, will experience significantly longer processing times. Items not owned by the libraries will be ordered and processed, and may require additional lead time.

Faculty are notified of deadlines via email. If you are unsure of current deadlines, please email gross@yu.edu.
