Engineering Library Address and Directions

Sometimes people will call asking us our address. Inquire as to what they need it for. Are they sending books back? Do they want to come into our library? Our address and phone number, parking info and driving directions are on our website under General Information: (you can always read this information to someone over the phone.) http://www.lib.washington.edu/engineering/locations/dir.html

If they are mailing or sending us something our address is:

Engineering Library

University of Washington

Box 352170

Seattle WA 98195-2170

Note: The Box number is not a US Post Office box number, but an internal UW campus designation. FedEx, UPS or other delivery companies are able to use this address to make deliveries to the Engineering Library. If they wish to come in to the library tell them that we do not have a street address. Our building is the Engineering Library Building, located on Stevens Way (the main road that runs through campus). We are on the East side of campus directly across the street from the HUB (Husky Union Building, AKA the student union). Sometimes people will know about the Metro bus stop across the street. See: http://transit.metrokc.gov/tops/bus/neighborhoods/university_district.html for information about which bus routes serve the University of Washington.

If they ask about parking, tell them that it is the prerogative of Parking Services and give them the number (685-1543). Do not advocate parking in loading zones or other restricted areas. Inform them that parking on campus is restricted most of the time and subject to ticketing and towing when appropriate. The current charge for parking on campus is $12.00 but gives refunds pro-rated on exit if a visitor spends less than 1 hour on campus. More information for visitors is at: http://www.washington.edu/commuterservices/parking/fees_gatehouse.php

US Mail, Campus Mail and Library Mail

Steve usually transfers the mail from the workroom to the mailroom in the basement and vice versa once daily. All U.S. Mail coming from or to the UW comes to us via the campus mail facility (who sorts and distributes mail on campus).

US Mail

Barcodes for mailing items (like patent or trademark packets) to patrons are in the manila folder next to the outgoing mailboxes. Place US Mail in the right hand box on the bottom row of the mailboxes in the workroom. There are also business letter envelopes in the supply cabinet with the barcode and library’s return address.

Campus mail is picked up once daily. Write the person’s name, department and box number on the item. Put it in the left hand box on the bottom row of the mailboxes in the workroom. Library mail comes twice daily via our own truck. Both books and mail are delivered from other units. If you are mailing something to another unit simply write their name and division on the item and place it in the center mailbox on the bottom row of the mailboxes in the workroom.

Signing for Courier Packages

Couriers such as UPS, FedEx, and Airborne Express all deliver to our library. Usually they go directly to the workroom. Sometimes, they will come to the reference desk for a signature. Before signing for the package make sure it is addressed to someone in this Library. Often couriers will bring in items for the Technical Japanese Program located in our basement. We do not sign for their packages -- direct them to the loading dock door. ONLY sign for packages addressed to our library or one of our staff members.
