Borrowing Materials |
Borrowing Privileges Most resources of the Health Sciences Library System are available for loan to students, staff, and faculty of the University of Pittsburgh and employees of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC). Patrons who are eligible for a University ID must present their valid ID to borrow materials. UPMC personnel must obtain and present an HSLS borrower's card to borrow books. To obtain a borrower's card, please fill out an HSLS Application for Library Services form and bring it, along with a valid UPMC ID card, to any HSLS circulation desk. Borrowing privileges are not transferable. Pitt and UPMC faculty who wish to have others borrow materials on their behalf should make prior arrangements with circulation staff.
Certain materials may have different loan periods. Please check at the Circulation Desk. How do I request an item that is in use? How do I have something held for pickup? How do I borrow a book that is in PITTCat but not in HSLS? How do I borrow an item that PITTCat says is "In Process" or "On Order"? How do I obtain an item that PITTCat Says is in "Closed Stacks" or "HSLS Storage"? Suspension of Library Privileges HSLS reserves the right to refuse services to any patrons with a certain amount of outstanding fines, fees, or materials at any University of Pittsburgh library, or to any patron whose privileges have been suspended for cause by library or University administration. Questions about HSLS borrowing policies or procedures may be directed to the appropriate HSLS circulation desk or hslscirc@pitt.edu.
