Place a Reservation

Reservations may be placed on items in the local collection if they are currently on loan.

To place a reservation:

  1. Search the catalogue and find the item you would like to place a reservation on.
  2. Select the Place Reservation button displayed on the right-hand side of the record display. This button will only appear if a reservation may be placed on this title. A form will be presented for you to complete.
  3. Enter your borrower ID and password if you are not already logged in.
  4. Enter the information required by filling out all the fields.
  5. Select an expiry period or enter a specific expiry date. Your reservation will be automatically cancelled if not satisfied by this date.
  6. Enter any notes you would like to include then select the Continue button.
  7. If you decided to proceed, details of your reservation will be displayed. This includes your current rank in the waiting list for the title.

 

Suggest an Item for Purchase

If you are unable to find the item you are looking for in the local catalogue and you think it would be appropriate for the Library to purchase the item for the local collection, you can place a request to ask the Library to consider the item for purchase.

To suggest an item for purchase:

  1. Click the Suggest a Purchase button in the My Library section of the homepage.
  2. If you are not currently logged on you will be prompted to identify yourself for this transaction. Enter your borrower ID and password then select the OK button.
  3. The request form will be displayed. Please enter as much information as you can about the item you require. You must enter the title of the item.
  4. You will also need to enter a date after which the item is not required and the location from which you would like to pickup the item.
  5. A confirmation page will be displayed. This will indicate if there are any charges associated with your request. It will also give you the option to return to your request form, to cancel the request or to continue with your request.
  6. Select the Continue button to proceed with your request. Your request record will be displayed including the request number.

You will be advised by the Library when the item is ready to be picked up. You can also track the progress of your request or cancel your request by using the facilities in My Account.
