What if I want several items from LASR? Can I request that the entire print run of an old journal be pulled?
Only by submitting a separate request for each and every item you want. For example, if you wanted to get five different volumes of a bound journal out of storage, you would have to find each volume in the catalog, and submit a separate request for each volume.

How do I get items out of LASR?
Find the item you want in the library catalog, and click the "request this item" button next to it. A request will be sent to a robotic arm, which will pull the bin in which the item you want is located. An operator will remove the item from the bin and place it at the LASR counter for you to pick up.
