Placing a Hold/Request

Items on Loan. Holds can be placed on items which are on loan to another borrower. On their return they will be put on the Holdshelf to await collection. If the item is not collected within 5 days, it will be returned to the Library shelves or the next hold will be activated.
Clients can have up to 10 holds at any one time.
Items on Shelf. Holds can also be placed on items which are available on the shelf at a distant location, or in Closed stack, and paged to the pickup location of your choice. Items cannot be paged between Huxley and Auchmuty Libraries with the exception of Closed stack items.
For more information, see Requesting Items from other Campuses.

The screen will display saying that your request has been sent to the Library.
