Contactless Pickup & Returns
- Our open holds shelf and scheduled contactless pickup will be available over the summer for those of you who are staying on campus or live locally. Place a hold on books and DVDs in the library catalog and you’ll get an email notification when they are ready. You can either come into the library to pick up your holds, or contact Library Services to schedule a contactless pickup time.
- If you have books or DVDs to return please place them in the book return drop, located at the main entrance. The book drop is open 24×7.
Interlibrary Loan and Scan on Demand
- You may place Interlibrary Loan and Scan on Demand requests for books, articles and book chapters. If you have any questions, please contact our Interlibrary Loan Department by sending an email to interlibloan@bentley.edu.
