HOW TO REQUEST STORAGE MATERIALS

Many library materials are located in Storage. Current students, faculty, and staff may request storage items through Ariadne using the green Storage Request button.
Materials are retrieved by library staff once per day, Monday through Friday. Please pick up your item(s) at the Circulation Desk.

Requesting Storage Items Through Ariadne:

1. Search for an item in Ariadne, the Library Catalog.
   
   
2. If your search gives you a list of several items, click on the title of the item you want.
   
   
 
3. Once you are in the record for an item, check to see if the Location says "Off-Site Storage," "Periodicals Storage," or something similar.
   If it does, then click on the "Storage Request" button at the top of the screen.
   (Please keep in mind that items that do not circulate, such as Reference books, will not allow you to request them.)
   
   Example:
   
   
   
4. Next you will see The "Request" page. Enter your Kalamazoo College username and password.

5. You will see a screen that tells you that your request was successful. The item will be retrieved within 24 hours (Monday through Friday) and placed on hold for you at the Circulation Desk.
   You may pick up items at the Circulation Desk any time after your item(s) arrive, and they will be checked out to you then.
