Book Lockers

Book Locker Pickup:

To pick up a book that you have ordered through Document Delivery/Interlibrary Loan services from the NYU Health Sciences Library, please follow these steps:

  1. When the book is ready for pickup, you will receive an email notification from the Robbins Medical Library staff. This email will include a barcode representing a transaction number (TN). You can either type in the TN or use the handheld barcode reader available at the computer kiosk located near the library entrance.
  2. Enter the transaction number correctly into the computer. Once entered, the computer will display a locker number and a 4-digit combination that you will need to retrieve your book from the book lockers.
  3. If you encounter any issues or have questions, please feel free to contact the library via email or phone at (212) 598-6275.
