COVID-19 Info & Resources: Online Request & Curbside Pick Up for Books and Technology

While our campus library locations are closed, you can still checkout laptops, books and more! Here's how (check out video instructions here):

1. Go to the Library home page (https://pima.edu/library), click on the Books and More button.

2. Search for the book, DVD or device you'd like to borrow.
(For Registered  PCC Students ONLY: Looking for technology devices? Type CARES Dell laptop, CARES MacBook, or CARES iPad in the search box*) NOTE: All wifi hotspots are now reserved. Use LibChat or Ask a Librarian to get on the hotspot waitlist, also, check out Connect Arizona to see if there's free wifi near you.

3. Click on the Request link and login using your Pima ID when prompted.

• Select West, East, or Downtown Campus as the pick up location (CARES Act technology is only available at West Campus.)
  • Insider tip, if the book or DVD you're interested in is held at West, East or Downtown, you'll get it much faster if you're able to pick up at the holding Library.
• Click on the circle next to an item listed as IN LIBRARY.  
• Scroll to the bottom, and click REQUEST SELECTED ITEM.

4. Wait to hear from us- it might take a few days. Be sure to check your Pima email.

5. When you get the email telling you that your item is ready, follow the link to schedule your pickup.

• IMPORTANT NOTE: Don't attempt to schedule a pick up until after you get the email from us letting you know your request is ready. Once you've scheduled your pick up, you'll get a confirmation email.

On the day of your pick up, Bring your Photo ID (examples: Pima ID, AZ ID, High School ID), Your Mypima Log in credentials and a mask. 

1. Please park and walk to the signed entrance area at West Campus in the Anklam-facing roundabout

(reference map below).

2. A staff member will come out to verify your photo ID and bring you you device.

3. You may need to logon one time to the device while on PCC wifi to establish a profile. 

If you are unable to make your appointment please contact the library at 520-206-3054 so we can reschedule.
 

Failure to make your appointment will result in items being returned to their home campuses, following quarantine procedures. To obtain those items again, you would need to start the process all over again. 

Use the Anklam road entrance and follow to the round about (highlighted in yellow) 

Plan on several days from the point of request to pick up. If your item is already at the campus where you will pick it up, we just need to pull it from the shelf, and send you the instructions to schedule your pick up. If you're requesting an item from one of the other campuses, please be patient. Delivery of items between campuses is still limited to once per week and so it may take several extra days for us to get back to you. If you're requesting an item that is already checked out and/or that has other holds placed before yours, there will also be a wait as requests are first come, first served.

STOP! Have you received an email notice from us asking you to schedule your pick up? If not, wait. Don't schedule your pick up until you get the email notice that your item is ready.

Once you've requested your item(s) from the library catalog and you've received the email from us asking you to schedule a day and time block, you're ready to complete one of the following forms. Please allow for 1 business days advance notice, prior to scheduling your pick up.
