How to Place Requests
Patrons can request items in advance in the Research Catalog, request a scan, or use a call slip in the Rose Main Reading Room.
First, view the Research Catalog record and check the item's location. After items are delivered, they are held for two weeks.
Please email the General Research Division if you have questions or need assistance.
Request In Advance
Click on the item's Request for On-site Use button, whether on-site at the Schwarzman Building or off-site. On-site items are delivered in 40 minutes, and off-site items take 2-3 business days.
Request In Person
Requests can also be placed in the Rose Main Reading Room, Room 315, with a call slip. We recommend requesting in advance.
Request a Scan
Patrons can request a scan if they have a citation with a page number and date. Please email the General Research Division or see NYPL's Scan & Deliver for further assistance.
