HOW TO PLACE A HOLD/REQUEST THROUGH THE ONLINE CATALOG

  • Retrieve the desired record through one of the various search options.
  • Click on the “Request” button above or below the record.
  • Enter patron name, BINPIN (barcode), and password – these are required.
  • A "Cancel if not filled by" date may optionally be included.
  • Click on the "Submit above information" button to continue or the "Start Over" button to cancel the request.
  • If ineligible for this function, the system will return a screen saying "Service available to Full Membership patrons only - see Membership Office." The "Start Over" button will return to the main search page and the "Regular Display" button will return to the record.
  • If eligible, select the desired item using the radio buttons on the left. Due to the nature of the collection and the system specifications, each item must be requested individually (e.g., volumes 1 and 2 of a title must be separately requested).
  • Click on "Request Selected Item."
  • A confirmation page is displayed listing the title/author; location; call number; volume/copy information, if applicable; series number, if applicable (e.g., Practising Law Institute titles); and the status.
  • The "Start Over" button will return to the main search page and the "Regular Display" button will return to the record.
