Request an item
If the item you want is already on loan or at another campus library, you can request the item via Library Search:
- Click 'Get It'
- Click 'Sign in' and enter your login details
- Click the 'Request' link
- Choose where you want to collect the item and click 'Request'. If your request is successful, you'll see a highlighted message: 'Request Placed'
- You'll receive an email telling you when the item has arrived. You must collect it from the Request Shelf within seven days, or notify Library staff if you're unable to collect by the allocated pickup date.
Please contact the Library for advice on the location of the Request Shelf for your campus.
If more than one person has requested a hold, you'll be placed in a hold queue and the borrow time will reduce to one week.
