In addition to our online services, NMSU Library is providing a Curbside Pickup for items physically located in Zuhl and Branson Libraries.
Beginning July 6, 2020, the NMSU Library announces a pilot curbside service to provide access to the circulating print collection in the Zuhl and Branson Library. Requests for materials will be made online. Hours of service are Monday through Thursday (9:00AM -1:00PM) and Friday, (10:00AM – 12:00PM).
Who can use Curbside Pickup?
Curbside Pickup is available for all NMSU affiliates, such as students, faculty and staff whose account is in good standing. If you have a balance due, please call 575-646-1852 before picking up your items. For the safety of our staff, we will not be able to process payments at curbside and you will be asked to pay your balance separately from the curbside service.
Who can pick up my items?
The borrower must pick up their items. However, faculty members could designate a proxy. Faculty must first fill out and submit the proxy form available online at library website. Staff will not release items to those without a NMSU ID.
How do I reserve items?
You can reserve most titles online through the NMSU Library website by accessing your NMSU account via Primo and using “Get It!”. There is no fee for this service. Once your hold is available, you will be notified. You will have 7 days to pick up your item(s). After 7 days, your item(s) will be placed back on the shelves.
