You can click this, and the Library staff will pull the book and set it aside for you to pick up. Books on hold are checked once a day in the morning. Alternatively, you can write down the call number, and come down to the Library to get the book right away.

What if the ÂÜÀòÍøÊÓƵLibrary does not have it?

If the ÂÜÀòÍøÊÓƵLibrary does not hold a copy of the item, you can initiate an interlibrary loan request (ILL). As you can see, ÂÜÀòÍøÊÓƵdoes not hold a copy of this item.

Instead of a “Place Hold” button, you see the “Request Item” button. Click it.

If you have not already signed in to either the ÂÜÀòÍøÊÓƵwebsite or the catalog, you will see this prompt:

Sign in to ÂÜÀòÍøÊÓƵ using your iMIS/Drupal login and password. This takes you to the ILL Request form.
