Delivery of Library Materials
Shipment of library materials to off-campus distance learners is
provided by the Information Delivery Services (IDS) department.
IDS will locate and deliver to you materials owned by RIT Library.
If the library doesn't own an item you need, IDS attempts to obtain
it from another library or information delivery source for you.
Request delivery of needed library materials using the easy, automated
system, IDS Express.
About IDS Express: enter your
name, address, delivery preferences, and other personal information
only once, at the time of your first request (you may update your
record whenever needed). From then on you may place requests, check
the status of your requests, renew materials, and more. There is
an option to receive articles electronically via the Web too.
