Book Requests
Some books that the Duke University Libraries have access to are held at the Library Service Center (LSC), which is an off site storage location. Books requested from the LSC will be sent to the library you indicate as your preferred delivery location in your Document Delivery/ILL settings. To change your delivery location you will need to login to your account. Under the “Tools” menu select “Change User Information.”
