Q. Can I send someone else as a proxy to pick up library items that are on hold for me?

Good question! If your books have been ordered through ILL, refer to the ILL Proxy process to create a proxy.

If your items are UMCP/USMAI materials, please send a request to askmckcirc@umd.edu from your official UMD email address noting the proxy's full name and the pickup location where your items are being held (policies/procedures for this service vary based on your status and by pickup location). Please allow 2 business days for a response.

Remember even if a proxy pickup is authorized by the pick up location, the item(s) will be checked out to your account, and you are responsible for the material.
