  How to Request Item Pickup Service at a Departmental Office

To make LEDS as convenient as possible for scholars, our team can even retreive your items when you're finished with them. We do request that all item pickups be left in your deparment's main office so our staff can efficiently service the entire campus.

All you have to do is fill out the LEDS Pickup Request Form and make sure to leave your items in the appropriate place! Unfortuanately, we are not able to pick up items directly from individual office rooms.

Current faculty, graduate students, and staff with registered departmental pickup and drop-off locations are able to register for LEDS. To register, fill out the LEDS Registration Form. If your department doesn't have registered locations with us, have someone contact our team at lib-delivery@fsu.edu to add them to our department list.

Any of our physical books, most DVDs, or scans of individual book chapters or physical journal articles can be delivered to your departmental office by LEDS. Please note, any items in our collection deemed "Library Use Only" are not eligible for this service.

Our team makes deliveries during regular business hours, Monday through Friday. Most deliveries are fulfilled within 48 hours, but you may experience slightly longer wait times with requests during our peak use seasons or if the item is coming from remote storage.

Please note, deliveries are not made when the Libraries are closed, including for University holidays or emergencies.

Once a scan request has been submitted, the LEDS team will locate and pull the item from our stacks. The item will be temporarily checked out to your account and you may receive a circulation notice via email. Once the LEDS team has finished scanning the files to our computers, we will send a .PDF file to your FSU email address. Once the scanning process is complete, the item will be discharged from your account and re-shelved.
