Brimson Grow Library Circulation Policies
Library circulation policies cover three areas:
Document Delivery Options
Northern Baptist Theological Seminary students, faculty, and administration may
request the delivery of library materials when they cannot come to campus to
pick them up. Note that some delivery options include fees.
IF THE ITEM IS IN BRIMSON GROW LIBRARY:
--Journal articles found in the ATLA Religion Database or other
FirstSearch databases:
If the journal is flagged as being in Northern Baptist Theological Seminary, you may still
contact the library (630-620-2104 or
library@seminary.edu) to request delivery of the article:
- via fax or email ($0.15 per page)
- via postal mail ($0.15 per page plus $1.50 postage)
--Books found in the library online catalog:
D.Min. students may contact the library
(630-620-2104 or
library@seminary.edu) to request that the books be
sent by mail. D.Min. students may borrow up to 10 books at one time and are
responsible to return them via UPS or Priority Mail with tracking.
All other students should use the "Request" button at
the top of the screen in the online catalog to place the book on hold.
The book will then be held at the front desk in the library for the next 4 days.
IF THE ITEM IS NOT IN BRIMSON GROW LIBRARY:
Remember, any book or journal article, whether it is in Brimson Grow
Library or not, may always be requested through Interlibrary Loan at your
local public library if that is more convenient. Otherwise, our ILL
services are available to assist you:
--Journal articles found in the ATLA Religion Database or other
FirstSearch databases:
If the article is not available at Northern, you must first pull up the
detailed record in FirstSearch, and then click on the "ILL" button to
request the article by Interlibrary Loan.
We will notify you when your article is ready for
you to pick up.
If you would rather have the article delivered directly to you, fill out
the "Comments" area on the online request form to let us know how you would like the article
delivered. The same costs apply to delivering ILL articles as to
delivering other articles:
- via fax or email ($0.15 per page)
- via postal mail ($0.15 per page plus $1.50 postage)
--Books found in WorldCat in FirstSearch:
If the book is not available at Northern, you must first pull up the
detailed record in FirstSearch and then click on the "ILL" button to
request the book by Interlibrary Loan. We will notify you when your
book is ready for you to pick up. (Remember: It most likely will take
less time to request books through Illinet Online rather than WorldCat.)
