While Brenau Trustee Library does not charge to use its Information Delivery service, some lending libraries do charge for their services. We make every attempt to obtain the item at no cost. On the request form, you can indicate the maximum amount you are willing to pay for the item.

When Information Delivery items arrive, you will be notified by telephone or email. Material can be picked up and returned at the Brenau Trustee Library Information Desk by students attending classes or living in Hall County. All other students will have material mailed or emailed directly to them.

In addition to the link above, many of our databases include Information Delivery links for articles that are not readily available in full text. Articles can be requested while you are searching!

Please be aware of the following before submitting Information Delivery requests:

• We will place your request as soon as we receive it, but Information Delivery material can take up to 20 working days to arrive.
• Loan periods for books are determined by the lending library. Two weeks is the common time limit.
• Requests for renewal of books must be made 3 days in advance of the due date.
• Charges and restrictions from lending libraries must be honored.
• You are limited to 10 requests per week.
• The library cannot request more than 5 articles per year from the same periodical title due to copyright guidelines.
