BMCC Library offers book pick-up and scanning services

Faculty, students, and staff have access to the BMCC Library’s collection through book pick-up and scanning services. Books or a limited number of chapters for scanning must be requested via this form.

  • This service is for members of the BMCC Community (Students, Faculty, Staff)
  • Books are for in-person pickup only. Books cannot be mailed.
  • Only books from the BMCC Library are available. Books from other CUNY Libraries are not available.
  • You will receive an email containing the scanned materials.
  • You will receive an email when the book is ready to be picked-up. Do not come to pick up your materials until you receive an email from us to say they’re ready.

Turnaround Time

Due to campus procedures there may be some delay in processing requests. Materials may take up to one week to be processed before being made available for pickup or before being scanned.

Please plan ahead in requesting materials. We cannot accommodate “rush” or “ASAP” requests.
