If you are a remote learner, faculty, or staff the library can ship items to you via USPS mail! This step-by-step guide will help you get items mailed to you through our online catalog.

*Please Note: The library will ship items to you at no cost but patrons are liable for return postage (through any convenient mail carrier), as well as lost packages. USPS offers discounted rates for library items by using their "Media Mail" service.

 

Step 1: Search the catalog.

  • Search our catalog right from the search box on the Library website's home page, or from the "Borrow" tab. 

Step 2: Log in to your library account located on the top right of the screen, and place your hold.

  • You can place holds on things like textbooks, children's books, videos, kits, etc.

Step 3: Provide your mailing address in the "hold notes" box and place hold.

  • IF needed, Select a date after which you will not need the item hold.

Step 4: Library items get mailed and you will receive an email with tracking info.

  • We'll mail any requests within 3 business days, and you can expect the items within 3-5 business days.

Step 5: Return your items to the library.

  • You may return items in person (dropbox located by the entrance as well as one located in the second-floor library space) OR

  • Mail any items back to:

    Edward Neisser Library

          Erikson Institute

          451 N. Lasalle Dr. Chicago, IL 60654

Step 6: Items are received and you can check more library items out!

 

If you accidentally place a hold before entering your mailing address, send us an email to libraryhelp@erikson.edu or reply to the "Hold Available for Pickup at Erikson" email for more help.
