Retrospective Research Collections Center (RRCC) Request:
Journal Article or Journal Volume

  • Retrieval Services: weekday afternoons Monday-Friday.
  • Requests received by 3:00 p.m are usually retrieved by 5:00 p.m.
  • Incomplete citation information will delay same-day retrieval.

Prioritize requests--large runs of journal volumes cannot be safely stored at Kelvin Smith Library and will not be retrieved. If you expect to use a large quantity of volumes, please plan your requests for manageable amounts for retrieval over a number of days.

  • Photocopies, $.10 per exposure:
  • Delivery to your department is through Campus Mail and the total amount will be added to your library account balance. The Library is not responsible for non-receipt of copies through Campus Mail.
  • Copies can be picked up at the Library and paid for at that time.
  • Complete journal issues must be used at Kelvin Smith Library, where you may browse and photocopy what you need. Complete journal issues/volumes are not sent through Campus Mail.
Journals that indicate the location RRCC in the Case Catalog, are located approximately 1/2 mile away, in the Retrospective Research Collections Center facility. Library users may also arrange to visit Library Storage (call 368-4319). This may be quicker and more useful when there is a need to use large amounts of Storage materials.

Before submitting a retrieval request, please check the Case Catalog to verify that the volume, issue, year, etc. is located at RRCC. You can copy & paste the bibliographic data to this form.

Boxes with labels in bold type are required and must be completed in order for the transaction to be successful. If you need assistance, you may call 368-4319 or 368-3517.

Item/Material Information (Journal)

*NOTE: The Library reserves the right to LIMIT the number of items retrieved per person per day, based on time and staffing constraints. Library staff will help people prioritize multiple requests for efficient retrieval and use.

Requests for large amounts of materials will be prioritized. If you anticipate needing large runs of items we can help coordinate retrieval(s) with your research needs. Smaller deliveries provide safe handling and storage for items retrieved to Kelvin Smith Library.

Verify title holdings and location in EuclidPLUS, the online catalog, before submitting a retrieval request. You can also use the bibliographic information in EuclidPLUS to copy & paste to this form.
**NOTE: Same-day retrieval is not guaranteed without article title or page numbers and author.
A journal may have multiple articles by one author--title and/or pages expedite the retrieval.
