Founders Storage Request

Current WPI faculty, students, and staff, as well as non-WPI users who have a WPI library card, can use the Library Catalog to request materials stored in Founders Hall. Only materials with the Library Catalog Location FOUNDERS STORAGE should be requested using this method. Please follow the directions below to request items from Founders.

Those users who are not current faculty, students, or staff, or who do not have a WPI library card, may still request Founders storage materials. Please call the library reference desk at 508-831-6700, or use the Library Questions form. Items are retrieved twice each day, Monday through Friday, during daytime business hours.

Connect to the Library Catalog, search for desired items, and display the holdings page for each item that shows Location: FOUNDERS STORAGE.
Select Make a Request from the Actions menu on the right side of the page.

On the Log In page, click on "WPI Faculty, Students, and Staff click here to login." Then enter your WPI Network username and password and click Log In on the "Pubcookie" page. (Please note: Users without a WPI login should enter their library barcode number and last name and click OK to login).
Select Founders Storage Retrieval and click OK.
Please type in the Comment area your email address, Volume Number, Year, and Pages of the item. Please request just one item per form.
Click on the Submit button at the bottom of the page.
You will be notified via email when your item is available for pickup. As noted above, items are retrieved twice each day, Monday-Friday, during normal daytime business hours. Items requested late on Friday may not be available until Monday.
Pick up and return Founders items at the Circulation Desk.
To request another item retrieved in your search, click on Titles, display the holdings page for the next item, and repeat from step 2. If you entered your barcode to login, you will need to re-enter your barcode on each subsequent request.
To begin a new search, select the Search tab at the top of the page.
When you are finished, select Logout and Exit to end your catalog session.
