Here's how to get started searching for items and requesting them for viewing in our reading room:
- In the catalog, limit your results to our collection by choosing "Library Catalog" from the dropdown to the left of the search box, then setting the location to "Map Coll (Pusey)."
- Once you find materials that interest you, request to view them in our reading room or request copies by clicking “Request to Copy or Visit” under “Access Options.”
- This will bring you directly to our HOLLIS Special Request system. From there, log in or create an account to submit your request.
- If the item you wish to view is listed in the digitized card catalog and not in HOLLIS, you can go directly to HOLLIS Special Request, click “New Request” and “Reading Room Request,” and enter the item's details.
- Once you’ve completed the request, you must separately schedule an appointment to come view the materials in the reading room. This is different from selecting your "Scheduled Date" in HOLLIS Special Request and ensures we have the materials ready when you arrive.
If you’re interested in seeing only what’s available online, from the search results page, under “Show Only” select “Online.” Click the “Online Access” link on items you’re interested in to see options for how to view the item online.
