If a circulating item is listed as AVAILABLE in the University Libraries Catalog, you may request it using the "Request It" button. Requested materials are pulled from one of five locations: Hampden Center, Bonfils Stanton Music Library, Westminster Law Library, Iliff Ira J. Taylor Library, or the Penrose Collections in the Main Library at the Anderson Academic Commons. Items may be requested for delivery to the Main Library, Music Library, Iliff Library, or Law Library for pick up. You may also browse and retrieve materials in the Main Library stacks yourself.

If a circulating item is not available according to the University Libraries Catalog, you may search Prospector and make a request. You will be notified by email when it is ready for pickup. If not available through the University Libraries collections nor through Prospector, you may place an Interlibrary Loan request for a copy of that item and we will send you an email notification when the item is ready for pickup.
All items from Prospector or Interlibrary Loan may be picked up at the Lending Desk. To see the status of your requests, view your account.
Access Services
Access Services' purpose is to facilitate access to University Libraries systems, services, materials, and information to the DU, local, and global community. We provide access to these resources through Circulation, Course Reserves, Interlibrary Loan, and Stacks Maintenance at the Jordan & Essie Perlmutter & Family Lending Services Desk.
The resources and services of University Libraries are developed and maintained primarily for members of the University of Denver community. All DU students, faculty, and staff have unrestricted access to collections and services as well as a range of borrowing privileges. A valid University ID is required to borrow material from the Library. The Main Library is open to the public, and the faculty, staff, and students of other institutions under certain conditions. Please see the information below for details.
The Lending Desk is located at the south end of the Anderson Academic Commons (main level) and we are open every hour the Main Library is open.
The Access Services Mission is to:
- Serve as first point of contact for information and welcome University Libraries patrons.
- Promote a safe and pleasant environment conducive to study and research.
- Communicate and collaborate within the Access team and across the University Libraries to support the mission of the University Libraries.
- Fulfill our purpose through the efforts and expertise of the Circulation, Course Reserves, Interlibrary Loan, and Stacks Maintenance Units.
