Will researchers be able to request special collections manuscripts, books and periodicals using Aeon?
Yes. Books and periodicals housed in special collections are found by searching IBISWEB, the University of Miami Libraries’ online catalog. If an item in the catalog is located in special collections, the record in IBISWEB will display an option to “Request This Item Via Aeon.” Manuscripts and archives can be found through special collections online Finding Aids. Once you find the Manuscript and Archival collection you are looking for in the database, you can request materials from individual collections via a “Request Button”.
