Borrowers from NCCU, NCSU, and UNC-CH need a current Duke Library account to borrow items. Register for an account if you have not previously borrowed items from a Duke University Library.
We can determine if item(s) are available and eligible for borrowing; and we can place these items on hold for 24 hours at our Circulation Desk. Call 919-660-7875 or email us to request this service.
TRLN Borrowers must visit Ford Library during our public access hours.
