Hold, Recall, and Pull Slip

HOLD—A hold may be placed on an item currently charged to another patron. The patron will not be able to renew the item. When the item is returned, the patron who placed the hold will be notified by email and may pick it up at the Public Services desk.

RECALL – A recall may be placed on an item charged to another patron. The patron will have 10 days to return the recalled item before being charged .50/day until it is returned. When the item is returned, the patron who placed the recall will be notified by email and may pick it up at the Public Services desk. Only current faculty, staff, and students may recall items.

PULL SLIP allows a patron to request that an available item be pulled from the shelf and placed on hold at the Public Services desk. Patrons are notified by e-mail when their items are ready to be picked up at the Public Services desk. Patrons are limited to five requests per day.

Requested items are held for three days before being returned to the collection.
