If you’re requesting through PASCAL Delivers, select your preferred pickup location and library branch, if applicable. You can pick up your item at any participating PASCAL library across the state!
You can also request a digital copy from a participating PASCAL library if your institution doesn’t offer digitization services. Check the “I only need a specific chapter or pages” box to do so. If you’re requesting a digital copy, be sure to double check your page numbers.
Read the copyright agreement carefully before submitting your request.
Click the green “Submit Request” button at the bottom of the form when you’re finished. You will receive an email from your library when the item is ready for pick up!
After signing in, click on your name in the top right corner of the screen, then select either “My Loans” or “My Requests”.

On each line, you'll see the title and author of the item that is or was checked out, as well as the due date and relevant pickup location information. Click each loan to expand it and see additional information about the item that you've checked out as well as about the loan itself. If your loans are eligible for renewal, you are able to manage that on this screen as well.
On the "Requests" screen within "My Library Card", you'll see a list of your currently active requests.
On each line, you can see details about the item you've requested, the type of request, and the status of that request. As before, click on a request to expand it and view additional information. If you'd like to cancel a request, you can do that on this screen as well.
Navigate to the other tabs in the "My Library Card" section to manage your requests, messages, personal details, and more.
