All About Himmelfarb’s Courtyard Pickup Service for Borrowers
Are you on your way to Himmelfarb to check out the copy of First Aid for the USMLE Step 1 that you requested online? Did you just get notification that The Complete Sherlock Holmes you ordered through our Consortium Loan Service is ready for pickup? Are you finished with the book on qualitative analysis you borrowed through ILL and hoping to return it?
If you are confused about what to do next, don’t worry! We will cover the procedures here. Also, please feel free to call us during our regular hours at 202-994-2962, and we will be happy to help you!
If you have Ross Hall/Himmelfarb access this semester, you may come to the Himmelfarb Circulation Desk to complete your transaction. If you don’t have access, or would feel safer using courtyard pickup, read on!
To use our Courtyard Service, the procedures for picking up and returning items are the same, whether we or another library owns the book. Once you have received notification that items you requested to borrow are ready to pick up, or once you are ready to return items that you borrowed:
- Please call the Circulation Desk at (202)994-2962 upon your arrival and we will meet you just outside the courtyard entrance to Ross Hall (across from the GW Hospital).
- We will hand you the item(s) you checked out, and/or we will take any returned items and check them in for you.
- NOTE: For your security, you must show us your GWorld card before we can hand you items for pickup. If you are picking items up for someone else, you must present that person's GWorld card.
IMPORTANT: Always check the Himmelfarb website for our current Hours of Operation, so you can plan your trip accordingly.
