Hold/Search

From the Catalog, you can place a HOLD on a book that is checked out by clicking on "Request Item". A hold prevents the current borrower from renewing the book, and when it is returned, it will be placed on hold for you. You will then receive notification via email that the book is available for pickup at the library.

If you are having trouble locating a book, Library staff can place a SEARCH on the item. We will then look for the book and let you know when we find it. Placing a search on a book will NOT prevent someone else from checking it out.

You may request a search in person at the Circulation Desk in D.H. Hill Library or at any branch library. For D.H. Hill Library only, you may fill out a form.
