After this initial period, it will take up to five working days. This is due to a shortage of available shelf space. The library will place the most recent edition of a book in the collection on reserve unless a specific edition is requested. For music you must specify the edition if multiple editions are available. Typically books and scores in the United States that have to be ordered take eight weeks to be received and processed.
European imprints take substantially longer.
Please be aware that the Scherman Library cannot assume responsibility for the condition of personal material. You will receive a copy of your reserve list if the following should occur. The book has to be ordered. The book is out of print, and is not available anywhere. We hope this will help us to further improve upon the services that the Scherman Library provides.
