If you find a book in the RU Catalog that is available at a different campus, you can request to have that book sent to the library location of your choice.

Log in with your NetID and password. Click the Request link in the middle of the book's page in the catalog (under the Get It section). Click the drop down box next to the words Choose the Pick-Up Institution and Pick-Up Location of the library location you would like to visit to pick up the book. After the request has been sent, you will receive an email in your Roosevelt email account to let you know when the book is available to pick up at that location.
