Ford Library

What precautions are you taking to protect library users and staff and minimize risk of infection?

We have many COVID-19 protocols in place to protect you. To name a few:

• Everyone; patrons, staff, faculty, etc., are required to wear masks at all times while in public areas.
• Cleaning and disinfecting of the facilities, especially public areas several times per day.
• Books are held at least 24 hours before circulating again after returned. Per CDC guidelines paper and cardboard (e.g. books) only retain the virus for a maximum of 24 hours.
• We will be cleaning any non-paper/cardboard items that are returned before reshelving or circulating them again.
• We are limiting where people can sit or stand in the library to allow 6 feet of social distance between each patron at all times and have lowered our occupancy rate accordingly.

We have many more protocols in place to protect our patrons and staff, but these are some of the most important. Feel free to contact us if you still have more questions or concerns.

How can I return my books, games, DVDs, or audiobooks?

You may return books to any drop box or circulation desk at any Duke Library. More delicate items such as games, DVDs, CDs, or any other media or electronic item should be returned to a circulation desk or to the Fuqua indoor drop box next to the Ford Library entrance. Please note access to the Fuqua building is limited to Fuqua students or Fuqua staff and faculty members. (See our webpage for a list of open hours.)

Can I get physical books and materials from the library?

Yes, but currently the Fuqua School of Business building is limited to Fuqua students or Fuqua staff/faculty members. (See our webpage for a list of open hours.) 

Hold requests may be placed via the Duke Libraries website on most items as of August 24, 2020 and they can be delivered to and picked up from most library locations as of September 7, 2020. 

Other restrictions may apply to certain locations. If you are able to select a location when using the request button, you can usually also access that library or make arrangements to pick up items there.

How can I request purchase of an e-book?

Please email us at ford-library-circulation@fuqua.duke.edu

Why don’t I have online access to my course textbook(s)?

Not all publishers allow libraries to buy the e-version of their books. We have to check each title on one-by-one basis. As soon as someone asks us for a title we can check with our vendors to see if there is a multi-user, library e-copy we can purchase. You can request us to check here: ford-library-circulation@fuqua.duke.edu

How do I request an article?

Follow the steps under “Interlibrary Loan” on the Renew Request Borrow page on our web site.

How can I request a print item or a DVD or audiobook?
Holds may be placed on books, audiobooks, or DVDs starting on August 24^th, 2020. Deliveries to and pickups from most campus locations will be allowed per that individual library’s access rules starting on September 7th, 2020.

I have a reference question. How do I contact a librarian for help?

You may contact us via email at reference-librarians@fuqua.duke.edu or you can use our chat service from 8 to 5 Monday through Friday.

How do I request a book chapter? When you click on request on the Duke Libraries website you will see two options, “Library Takeout Service” and “Scan and Deliver”.

The Scan and Deliver option is to request chapters to be scanned from a particular book. To make the request it will take you to a page of your Interlibrary Loan account after you login. Even though the item is owned by Duke, we are using the interlibrary loan software to track and fulfill these types of requests.

Why don’t you have any of my textbooks on reserve? 

Due to COVID protocols for prevention of virus transmission via books we need to quarantine all returned items for at least 24-48 hours. Plus high use collections present a higher risk of transmission. This means we can no longer circulate shorter loan period items, especially ones that can’t be disinfected efficiently.

Why can’t I borrow electronics like phone and laptop chargers, kindles, or board games now? 

Electronics or items with lots of pieces present a higher risk of COVID transmission and are difficult to disinfect without damage or a lot of effort. Plus high use collections and ones that circulate often in a short time period present a much higher risk of transmission of the virus. This means we can no longer circulate these high risk items, especially ones that can’t be disinfected efficiently. 

What are your hours?

Right now the building is only open to Fuqua School of Business members; Fuqua students or Fuqua staff/faculty. Our Fuqua-only hours are posted here: https://library.fuqua.duke.edu/about/hours.php

For any questions not included in this FAQ, please contact us at library@fuqua.duke.edu

If you’re having trouble getting access to Capital IQ or PitchBook (in particular) or to a Library-provided database in general; this blog post contains a proven fix for most issues.

Since Duke & Fuqua shifted to online classes, the heavier use of different online resource sites increases the chances that your authentication browser cookies become “corrupted” or invalid over time — particularly if you forget to logout from a site when you’re done.

Clearing Your Browser Cache and Cookies “For All Time”

In most browsers, pressing Shift+Ctrl+Del will bring up a dialog box to “Clear All History”. The title and appearance of the dialog may vary depending on your browser, but the options should be the same.

Make sure the time range is set to “Everything” or “For All Time” . At a minimum, tick the boxes for Active Logins, Cookies, and Cache. Then click “Clear Now”.

Now close (exit) your browser entirely. Don’t just close the tab. Shut down the browser and re-start it. Now you’re ready to return to the Library database site, and re-try your access.

What If That Doesn’t Help? Are you using VPN?

PitchBook and S&P Capital IQ both require an active VPN session as well as registered accounts on those sites. Fuqua users may have forgotten to select the Fuqua School of Business VPN option when connecting.

Try the following:

1)   Disconnect from your current VPN session, and exit the software.

2)   Clear your web browser’s cache and cookies completely (i.e. for all time), and then close/exit your browser completely (see above).

3)   Re-start your VPN software and enter vpn.duke.edu in the 1^st pop-up. box.

4)   In the next dialog box, Fuqua users should choose Fuqua School of Business as your Group (see below):

Other Duke users not affiliated with Fuqua should pick the VPN option most appropriate to their affiliation.

Then click connect to connect to a VPN session.

5) Now re-start your browser, and re-try your connection to the desired database (PitchBook or Capital IQ).

Final (and crucial!) Pro Tip

Always use the connection link to a database from a Library web site — never from a bookmark, or a Google link.

Still Can’t Connect?

Email us screenshots of any error messages, and provide as much detail as you can, and we’ll do our best to help!
