How do I get items from remote storage?
Answer
Items shelved at remote storage are housed off-site (in the 801 building) and available only by request. How you request will depend on your affiliation and on the item requested.
UAB Student, Faculty, or Staff
- If the item is designated Loanable, sign in to your library account to place your request.
- If the item is designated Not loanable, use the Courier Request form.
Non-UAB Visitor
- Use the Courier Request form.
You will be notified by email when the item is available at your selected pickup library. If you do not have a UAB ONE Card, you can pick up or view your item during the hours we are open to visitors.
For more information, see our Courier Service page. Please note that the Courier Service will not deliver Rare Books or Historical Collections material.
