Recalling Items

If an item you need is already checked out, you can recall it and request that it be delivered to the library of your choice.

  1. Find the item in the library catalog

  2. Click on the title

  3. On the right-hand side of the screen, next to the title and author information, you will see a small box. Click on the link titled: "Get This Title" next to the truck symbol.  It is the first link in the box.

    Get This Title

  4. Enter your NetID and password as directed.

    NetID

  5. Choose your pickup location from the drop down menu and the last-needed date.

  6. Click on the "Place Hold/Recall Request" button.

    Place Hold

You will receive an email notification when your recalled item is available for pickup.

Returning Recalled Items

If an item you have checked out is recalled, you will receive an email notifying you of the date you must return the item by.  Patrons are guaranteed 14 days to use checked out items, after which an item may be recalled.  In order not to incur fines, please return all recalled materials by the date specified in the email, and hand all recalled items to a staff member at the circulation desk in any library, rather than placing the item in the bookdrop.
