Tips for Reserving an Item

• If you have overdue items, or have a fine, you will not be able to reserve or place a hold on an item online.
• Holds may not be placed on reference books or Stellar Sellers. You cannot reserve Film Library videos online. If you wish to borrow materials from the Film Library, submit your request through your local reference librarian.
• If you would like a particular book, magazine or video in a series, where all are listed on the same library record, ask your reference librarian to place an item hold for you.
• If the hold process does not work, call the reference librarian at your local library for help.
