Book Delivery Policies

  • LSU Libraries and interlibrary loan items are eligible for delivery, excluding materials that do not circulate outside the library (ex. course reserves and microfilm)
  • Most deliveres are made in 1-2 business days delivery but it is not guaranteed
  • You will be notified when the book is in transit to your departmental mailbox
  • After two delivery attempts, LSU Libraries items will be placed on hold at the Access Services desk for 7 days then returned to the collection. Interlibrary Loan items will be held for pickup at the Access Services desk until their due date then returned to the lending library
  • Patrons are responsible for the return of items; there is no pick-up service
  • Maximum request allowance is 8 per day
