Book & Media Express

Book & Media Express, a service for faculty, staff, and students, offers the delivery of books from any campus library and media material from the Young Audio Visual Services Media Library to a different campus library. It also provides delivery to a pick-up point for material retrieved from our Storage facilities.

• Access to the Book & Media Express service is through InfoKat Discovery.
• From any record in InfoKat Discovery, click the Requests button to place a Book & Media Express order.
• You will be asked for your patron log-on information.
• Choose the Book & Media Express option.
• On the next screen, enter your preferred pick-up location from the pull-down menu.
• To find out when your order will be be available:
  • Log-on to your Library Account and check "Request Information."
  • You will see "Items Available" if anything is ready.
  • Delivery should occur within two business days. If item is not at the pick-up location by this time, contact the holding library to inquire.
• Materials will be returned to the holding library if not picked up within 10 days of availability.

Non-circulating materials, Reference, Journals, Scores, and Special Collections Research Center materials are not available through Book & Media Express. UK patrons may request scans of articles/chapters held in our Storage Facilities via the Storage Article Express service and scans of articles/chapters held elsewhere in campus libraries may be requested through the Article Express service.
