Pay attention to location in the library catalog. Books and journals with location: ReCAP, and FORRESTAL ANNEX are requested via the library catalog and one must designate a pickup library of choice [Marquand ReCAP materials may only be consulted in Marquand]. Requests take a day or two to arrive (excluding weekends), and you will be notified via the e-mail address you provide.
ReCAP, or Research Collections and Preservation, is a high-density, storage facility containing collections owned by Princeton, Columbia University, the New York Public Library, and Harvard. Records from partners are available via the Princeton library catalog, and are indicated with initials at the bottom (C or N, at present). You may see duplicate records for the same item. The Forrestal Annex contains humanities materials and multiple copies of course reserve titles. Electronic delivery of book chapters and articles may be requested for ReCAP titles.
