Items will be delivered to any one of the FSU Libraries for you to pickup.
Search the FSU libraries for an item. If the item is not available at FSU you can use UBorrow to locate and order this item from another library for you. In order to do that just click on the UBorrow icon located in the upper right-hand corner of the screen of the FSU library catalog. For more information on UBorrow, read over these FAQs or ask a librarian.
