Library Materials Pick-up (LaMP) Service: Library staff will retrieve materials from the shelves and hold them for you at the circulation desk for up to a week for you to come and check out. We pull materials once a day Monday – Friday, so it can take several days depending upon the timing of your request. We will email you you’re your items are ready. (If time is tight, you may prefer to come get things from our shelves yourself which is the standard method.)
First - Go to the library website and search BearCat, (the SUNY Potsdam Library Catalog), for the items.
Second - Sign in. You will use your SUNY Potsdam login. If you are already logged into another Potsdam service, like e-mail, you will go straight through. Otherwise you will be directed to the SUNY Potsdam Login screen.
Third - Click on the item that you want us to get for you and click on the “Request Library Materials Pickup” link from the middle of the page. Click the "Send Request" link that pops up. Note: The "Request Library Materials Pickup" link does not show up unless you are logged in and looking at a single item. It is NOT on the longer list of results. If you are not seeing the link, make sure that you are searching ONLY the SUNY Potsdam Library Catalog and not Everything
Fourth – You will receive an e-mail confirming that you have requested the material.
Fifth –Once we retrieve the item from the shelf you will receive an e-mail telling you it is ready for pick-up.
Please direct any procedural questions to circ@potsdam.edu and any research questions to library@potsdam.edu. Help with researching and locating items is available through our 24/7 Chat service. If our library does not have the item you want, you can ask us to get it for you from another library using our Resource Sharing or ILL services.
