Storage Building information

The following services are being offered for use of material in the Library Storage Building (LSB):

Storage Building hours

Daily walk-in service is available; hours vary from general Library hours and are posted on the door and under Library Hours. Use the phone in the LSB lobby to call student assistant for help. Student assistants will retrieve desired material from the closed stacks, and assist you in using the on-site photocopy machine. The photocopy machine will accept coins, dollar bills, or the CyCash feature on the ISUCard.

Delivery of storage materials to Parks Library

Requests for Storage material may be made via the web form or at the Circulation Desk at Parks Library daily before 1:00 p.m.  Materials may be picked up after 3:30 pm the following working day.  However, any request received after 1:00 pm Friday and throughout the weekend will not be available until after 3:30 pm Tuesday.  The Library reserves the right to limit the number of Storage Requests per person per day. This is due to the fact that our transportation system can only handle approximately 30 volumes per day.

Research studies

Two Research Study rooms are available in LSB to be reserved on a weekly basis. This is an alternative to having a large number of volumes brought back to Parks Library. Contact Lorrie Smith in person at the Storage Building, by phone (294-2863), or by e-mail (smithll@iastate.edu).

Document Delivery Service

If you would like to arrange for material in the Storage Building to be photocopied and delivered directly to your home or office, use the Library’s fee-based Document Delivery Service. ISU faculty, staff, and students are assessed a base fee of $5.00 per document for this service; others are assessed a $12.00 base fee. Requests may be submitted via a web form. Phone requests are also accepted at 294-0440 (an additional $5.00 fee is incurred).

Vet Med Library

Storage materials can be sent to the Vet Med Library through the Vet Med Express delivery service.
