See COVID-19 Updates and Resources for the most up to date information on access to Washington University Libraries during the global COVID-19 pandemic. The Libraries are committed to providing access and support for research and also maintaining safe working environments for our staff.

At Home:

1. Find what you need in the Libraries catalog and click "REQUEST" button and choose Olin Library as pick-up location.

• This usually takes at least a day, or more on the weekends.
• If you have any trouble or questions when requesting materials, contact Ask Us

2. Watch for an email saying items have been retrieved by library staff. This email has a specific link to schedule your specific 10-minute pick-up time.

• You cannot schedule to pick-up the same day.  Available options show in green on the scheduling link. 
• Pick-up options are only when Olin Library is open (currently Monday - Friday 9am - 8 pm).
• If you miss your window of time, materials may not be available. Email circ@wumail.wustl.edu within 14 days to reschedule.

On Campus:

3. Go to the North side of Olin Library (across from pedestrian bridge).

4. Swipe your WUSTL ID to enter the Curbside Pick-up room (don't forget your mask!)

5. Your materials will be on tables, alphabetically by last name.  Please follow signs for social distancing.

• Books are automatically checked-out to you, so you can just grab them and go!

• the South entry to Olin Library (in lobby on way to study cubicle area)
