The Campus Courier Service: Campus Delivery of Books and Journals at Auburn University

The Auburn University Libraries Campus Courier Service, a campus delivery service, allows Auburn University faculty, staff, and graduate students to have bound journals and books delivered to their offices located on the main campus and at the two branch libraries. This service is available free of charge to eligible users. This article presents an overview of the service by describing its structure and usage. It is hoped that the knowledge of the current usage of this service could help the Auburn University Libraries plan informed liaison activities, collection development, and further growth and promotion of the service. An analysis of current usage statistics provides some baseline data for future comparisons with peer institutions and for strategic planning at Auburn.
