IUPUI students, faculty and staff may use the 'Request This' function in IUCAT to request materials from another library. Materials that are already checked out may not be requested. Requests for delivery usually take 4-7 working days to complete.
Materials from the IUB Kinsey Library, Lilly Library, CEDIR Library, Archives of Traditional Music Library, University Archives Library, and the Bloomington Residence Halls are excluded. Some materials (i.e. reference books, other non-circulating collections and short term loan collections) from other libraries may be excluded.
