Explanatory Text for Requested Information

"Need By" Date REQUIRED

Provide a "deadline" date, in any form, by which you need to have the item you are requesting. Please be aware that if the item is still on order, we will do our best to rush the order through, but you may still have a waiting period that extends beyond your deadline date, especially if you need the item quickly. A staff person will notify you if this is the case, so be sure to include your contact information in the form.

Requestor's Name REQUIRED

Provide the name of the person requesting the In-Process or On-Order item.

Access/User ID

Provide the ID portion of your Penn State Access Account e-mail address. For example, in the e-mail address xyz123@psu.edu, the Access/User ID portion is xyz123.

E-Mail Address

If possible, please provide a current e-mail address that we can use to contact you if we have a question, problem or delay with your request. We ask that you provide at least one form of contact information. If you don't have an email address or prefer we don't email you, please provide a phone number where you can be reached or where we can leave a message for you if needed.

Phone Number

Provide a phone number that we can use to contact you if we have a question, problem or delay with your request. We ask that you provide at least one form of contact information. If you prefer we don't call you, please provide an email address where you can be reached if needed.

Author

If applicable, provide the name of the author of the item you are requesting. If the item has more than one author, it is only necessary to provide one.

Example: LB1049.F63 1996
Note: Some In-Process and On-Order Items will not have an actual call number in the record, but a system generated number instead (e.g., XX(3202505.1)). It is not necessary to supply this number in the form.

Pick-Up Library REQUIRED

Specify the Penn State Library at which you would like to pick up the requested item. See list of possible locations below.

If you are assisting a patron fill out the form and are viewing the record for the item being requested in WorkFlows, provide the Title Control Number found in the Control record, or, if applicable, you may provide the item's Item ID, found in the Vol/Copy record in WorkFlows. It may be an actual barcode number or a system generated hyphenated number (e.g., 3202506-1001). Please note that not all items On-Order or In-Process will have a copy record with an Item ID.

Additional Information

Optional. Provide any additional information you think is necessary or that you would like to inform us about.
