4/ Click on the item cover or
on the "Details" button to view the item record screen if several
options appear, or go right to Step Five if you are taken straight
to the item record.
5/ Click on the link, "Place
Hold" on the left side of the screen, usually found underneath the
cover of the item (if an image of the cover is displayed).
6/ Select the pickup library
(where you wish to pickup material requested), from the drop-down
menu list.
7/ If you wish, you can set a
"Not Needed After Date," if the item is no longer required after a
particular time. You can also set up a "suspension period" for
the hold so that it will not come in during a time period when you
are unavailable, such as on a vacation.
7/ Click on the "Place Hold"
button. One of two things will happen:
-
7a/ Your hold will be
confirmed:
When an item to fill your hold is located, it will be sent to the
pickup branch you selected when placing the hold. To insure that
your item is sent to the correct location, log in from the first
screen in the web catalog or be sure to select a pick-up location
from the drop-down menu before clicking "Place Hold." An automated
telephone call or email message will be made to inform you when the
item is available for pick-up.
-
7b/ An alternate message will
appear:
If you get a message saying that you cannot place the hold, please contact the circulation department at your branch and
they will be able to explain why the hold could not be placed.
