Intercampus delivery can be as fast as 1 day or take up to 10 days during holiday breaks. Typical delivery time is 2-3 business days.
Intercampus delivery service between HCC libraries is available to current HCC students, staff, and employees. It is typically available Monday through Friday during daytime business hours. However, it is not available during weekends, holiday breaks, campus closures or outside of a campus library's service hours.
You will be notified automatically when your book is ready for pick-up by HCC student email.
Often, our library assistants or librarians will contact you by telephone, too, as a courtesy.
You will have 3 days to claim your book after it's available for pick-up. If it remains unclaimed, it is returned to its original location.
