  • Click the  button.
  • Search for the item/s you want.
  • Click on the entry you wish to request.

Getting Articles from the Tempe Campus:

For photocopy requests of articles located on the Tempe Campus use the ILLiad request form.

 

Where Can I Get My Materials Delivered?

Materials will only be delivered to the requestor's Tempe Campus Departmental Office. We will not deliver materials to individual offices or dormitories.

 

How Long Does it Take?

Average turnaround time is 2-3 working days. Library Express is open Monday through Friday, exempting University observed holidays.

 

Services Library Express does not Provide:

  • Articles that are available online through ASU electronic journal and database holdings.
  • Delivery videos and DVDs. Due to their short check out period and the uncertainty of delivery schedules, these items must be picked up at the Circulation Desk. Faculty can ensure availability of the items they need by requesting their items through Media Booking.
     

Library Express reserves the right to return requests that do not comply with copyright laws of the United States (read below). Using this email form implies that your request is in copyright compliance AND that you acknowledge that you must pay for the service if you are not an ASU Faculty member.

The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material. Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be "used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research." If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of "fair use," that user may be liable for copyright infringement.
