If the item you find in the catalogue is on loan to someone else you may request it by placing a hold and recalling the item. When the item is returned it will be held for you and you will be notified by email.

  • Find the item in the library catalogue and click the PLACE HOLD button at the top of the screen

  • Enter the barcode number of your library/access card and PIN when prompted

  • If there is more than one copy you will see a screen like this. Click in the circle to the left of the copy of your choice

  • Click REQUEST SELECTED ITEM

  • You can view your holds and cancel them by viewing your library record
