Hold requests allow you to reserve a copy of book that is on loan – once you request a book, you will be added to a queue to borrow the book next, and once it is returned and you are first in the queue, you will receive an email to let you know.
The process has changed following our system upgrade, so follow these steps to place a hold request on a book that you need.
