No renewals are permitted. <br /> <br /> If available, requested materials will be ready for pickup within four business days of the original request. In one user&#039;s totally subjective personal experience, [[Yale]] and [[Princeton]] libraries are fastest (sometimes delivering books within one day). <br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> *[https://www1.columbia.edu/sec/cu/lweb/requestit/borrowdirect/ Borrow Direct website]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Libraries]]</div>
