Would you like your books delivered directly to your study carrel instead of to a library hold shelf? Now you can place a request in Orbis, our online library catalog, and have your library materials delivered directly to your study carrel!

What are the benefits of this service?

• You will be given a unique log in to request items to be delivered to your carrel. Newly delivered books will appear in your carrel within 2 business days (excludes recess periods and holidays.) You will not have to fill out charge slips for these materials; staff will charge materials to your carrel prior to delivery.
• You will have access to a list of all of the items that are stored in your carrel.

 

If you are interested in learning more about this service, please contact askyalelibrary@yale.edu. We will direct you to the staff person that can assist you with carrel delivery instructions.

You can place a request to have a book delivered to your study carrel through Orbis.  Each carrel is assigned a unique barcode; if you do not know what yours is, please contact Ask Yale Library at askyalelibrary@yale.edu. It will begin with “STL” and end with a series of numbers that are linked to your study carrel. You will use this barcode when you place a request for carrel delivery.
