Although many valuable resources exist online, there are times when distance students need access to the print material owned by the library. In response to this need, the library offers the following delivery services for students enrolled in the Practicing Professionals Distance M. Arch program:
Materials That Can Be Delivered Are:
1. Books - Distance M. Arch students may check out six books per semester from the library. Students can either check these books out during their onsite residency or request to have the books shipped to them during the course of the semester. Books may be checked out for 4 weeks, with the possibility of renewal. The library absorbs the cost of mailing out book material, but students must cover the cost of mailing these books back to the library.
2. Copies of Articles and Book Chapters Owned by the Library - The library can deliver copies of book chapters and journal articles either through email or first class mail. Each student may request 10 copies of articles or book chapters per semester. Please allow 2-3 days for these requests to be filled (it may take longer for requests sent through the mail).
3. Copies of Articles and Book Chapters from Other Libraries - If the library does not own a particular journal article or book chapter, a copy will be requested from another library and sent to you through email or first class mail. Please allow 2 weeks for delivery of these items. We cannot interlibrary loan books at this time.
