Request books, reports and videos by one of these methods:

Use the library catalog.

• Login (link in the upper right) with your LANL Z# and cryptocard.
  
  
• Find a title you are interested in and click on the link next to "CLICK FOR STATUS"
  (looks like  MAIN Z695.24 .C38 2002  or  REPT: LA-UR-02-4)
  
  
• Click on the Request Item link (at the left of the item holdings display, in the Status/Due Date column)
  
  
• The system will display a confirmation message, or will let you know if there is a problem.

Use the online Request Form.

• Enter your Z number
• Type or copy the information from the catalog, New Book List or other source

Send an e-mail message to the Research Library.

• Copy the information from the catalog, New Book List or other source
• Mail it, along with your name and Z number, to library@lanl.gov.

Call the Library Service Desk at 667-5809.

What happens next:

• if the book is on the shelf, it will be checked out to you and sent via inter-office mail. Or, you can also request that it be held in the library for pick-up, and to be notified by e-mail or phone.
  
  
• if the book is not on the shelf, a hold will be placed, that is, your name will be placed on a waiting list, and the book will be sent to you when it becomes available.

If you have questions about your request please call the Library Service Desk (667-5809).

Books can be returned by interoffice mail to MS P362.

NOTE: This procedure applies also to reports, video and audiocassettes. Reference (REF) materials and journals do not circulate.
