University Libraries
Borrowing & Lending: Access Services
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 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.
