Recalls and Holds

Use the Catalog Request Form to request:

If the item has been checked out for at least two weeks, it will automatically be recalled for you. Once an item has been returned to the pickup library, you will be sent an email notification of its availability and it will be held for you for 5 days. All patrons are eligible to request a hold on materials currently checked out. Only Duke students, faculty and staff and TRLN patrons are eligible for recall privileges.
