The HPU Libraries are implementing a trial book delivery service between Atherton Library, Hawaii Loa campus, and the Oceanic Institute campus.  This service allows HPU faculty to submit online requests for circulating materials located at both campus libraries with delivery to the OI campus.

Trial Service Period

• This service is scheduled to run from September 8, 2009 to May 16, 2010. 

Eligibility

• Current HPU faculty with offices on the OI campus

• Due to the infrequent nature of the mail delivery to the OI campus we cannot give you an exact time frame but allow at least one week for delivery. 
• Library staff will process your request within 1-2 days of receipt and forward your books to the designated mail delivery site.
• An e-mail message will notify you when your books are in transit.

Making Requests
