Requesting Library Materials for the Hold Shelf

Faculty, staff, and students can request books, scores, and audiovisual materials be pulled from the shelf and placed on the hold shelf.  This is done through the account feature of the book catalog.  Each request generates an immediate "to do" notice for our circulation supervisors.  Requests are filled within 24 hours (usually more quickly) during the library's hours of operation.

1.  When you have identified books you want pulled and placed on hold, log into the system using the Sign In link at the top right.
