Document Delivery

  • “Document Delivery” is now called “Scan and Deliver Articles.” It is the same service with a new name. Learn more about our Scan and Deliver services.
  • Through the University Libraries MERLIN catalog, you can request that any library items be delivered to any Circulation Desk for pickup. Consult a campus libraries map to find the library most convenient for you.

Embed Library Resources in Blackboard

Faculty can now add the Library Resource Tool to their Blackboard and Canvas course pages. This tool allows students to connect to what they need alongside all of their other course information, links, discussions, etc., without sending students outside their browser window or mobile app. Faculty can embed subject guides, course guides and/or E-Reserves. Resources and tutorials on how to add these items to Blackboard and Canvas are available on our webpage.
