If you know what you want, the library can get it to you. The University Library's 747-FAST service allows faculty to request materials day or night from any of the university's libraries. The library can retrieve, check out, and send the materials you need right to your department mailbox -- and usually within one to two working days. When an item isn't immediately available, 747- FAST lets you know that too, and can order the requested material via the Library's interlibrary loan system or request its purchase in your name. Using 747-FAST is simple. For the quickest results, requests can be made by telephone 24 hours a day at 747-3278 (747-FAST) or sent through MTS (747- FAST, on UB or UM). Requests can also be made in person or sent through campus mail to "106 Graduate Library North."

Request forms are available at all campus libraries or through campus mail. The service is free. For magazine and journal articles, however, photocopies will be sent at $19 per page (JRequests must be billed to university or pre-paid accounts; account numbers are necessary to process requests).
