Using Get it! to Request Items from Storage

This brief video will show you how to submit a Get it! request to have an item shipped to you from our off-site storage facility. 

Ways to Borrow

Get It! offers delivery of items that are not checked out to a library location that is most convenient for you!  Get it! lets everyone request delivery of books from any ULS library, ULS Storage, and regional campuses.

After finding a book, click on the Get It! symbol in the catalog record, and fill out the form. Log in using your University Computing Account (email) username and password.

To use Get it!

  1. Find the not checked out item in PITTCat+ you want
  2. Click through to PITTCat Classic
  3. Click the Get it! link in the record
  4. Log in and follow the on-screen instructions to request your item

If Pitt Libraries don't have the books you need, you can use E-ZBorrow to request the items from other academic libraries.  Borrow an item from one of 70+ other regional libraries -- fast! You will need your Pitt ID number (starts with 2P) to use E-ZBorrow.

  • Pick up and return the items at any ULS Library. Items are generally delivered within 4-7 days
