Library has also created scanning service for items that cannot be checked out
As of Oct. 14, the UFV Library’s “Select and Collect” service is now available at the Chilliwack campus. Library materials from the Chilliwack and Abbotsford collection can be requested and picked up at either location.
The Select and Collect service allows students, staff, and alumni to request library materials through the UFV Library catalogue while the libraries are closed to in-person browsing due to COVID-19.
According to the Select and Collect webpage, stacks and English language learning collections are available to pick up Monday and Wednesday between 1 and 4 p.m. at the Chilliwack campus. At the Abbotsford campus, current students and employees can additionally request items from the curriculum collection, and all materials are available to pick up Monday through Thursday between 12 and 4 p.m.
According to Brenda Philip, circulation and data services librarian, the UFV Library also has a scanning and emailing service for items that cannot be requested through the Select and Collect service. To request items that cannot be checked out of the library, such as periodical articles and book chapters, students can submit a form to receive scanned pages of the material.
“We will be complying with copyright,” Philip said in an email, “meaning that we will be tracking to make sure that we do not exceed the allowable amount of scanning and emailing of any item for an individual.”
The library is also asking for students to return checked-out items from prior to COVID-19, or to renew them. The Abbotsford and Chilliwack library book-drops are open 24/7.
