Why did I get a recall notice from the Library?

All circulating items are subject to recall by the Library for the purposes of course reserves or, in the case of AV materials, for in-class viewings. Initial recall notices will be sent via email; secondary and tertiary notices may be sent via email or phone.  Recalled items are due immediately.  Fines for recalled items will begin to accrue 7 days after the recall date.

Can you pull a book from the shelves and hold it for me at the desk?

Reserves can be placed on print books and audiovisual materials. You can learn how to reserve online here. You will receive an email when the book is ready for pickup, and it will be held at the circulation desk for 7 business days.

If you have requested a book through I-Share or Interlibrary Loan, we will hold it at the desk for you for two weeks after we notify you that it has arrived. After two weeks, we will send it back to the lending library.

I need to show a video in class. Can you hold that for me?

Faculty (Core and Adjunct) may reserve VHS tapes or DVDs in advance for the purposes of classroom viewing by online through our catalog. If you are a student and you need a video for a class, please talk to your instructor about making arrangements with the Library.
