K.K. Sherwood Medical Library

Requesting items to be delivered to Harborview Medical

The K. K. Sherwood Library provides the UW Libraries' delivery service to HMC staff and faculty. Items are delivered to a secure location near the library and users are notified to pick up their items at their convenience.

How it works

  • Find the item in the UW Libraries Catalog or Summit Catalog
  • Request the item using the "Request/Place Hold" button and your UW NET ID
  • Choose the pickup location "HMC KKS"
  • Items are delivered to Harborview every Tuesday and Thursday afternoons
  • The first time you place a hold, we send you an email authorization form enabling us to check items out to you and place them in the designated pick-up location
  • Once we receive your email authorization, we deposit the items for pick up and send you a message that includes the access code for the secure storage location
  • If you are unable to pick up your items within three days, please let us know
  • Items may be returned to the book drop in the entry way of the East Wing of HMC (on 9th Ave.)
