Can I reserve items?
Answer
You can reserve an item that is out on loan by using our Library Catalogue. First look for the book that you want to borrow as normal and then click on either the Check Availability button or the item’s title. This will show you all the book’s details including if and where it is available for loan.
If the item is out on loan a Reserve this item button will appear at the bottom of the item details. Click on this button and you will be asked to login to your Library account using your College number and Library Pin, if you have not already logged in. Then click on the Reserve button and you will be told that you have successfully placed the reservation.
Once the book has been returned, we will hold the book for you and you will receive an automatic notification to your college e-mail saying your reservation is waiting for collection. We will hold your reservation for seven days, after which time it will go back on the shelf. Please ask a member of Library staff when you want to collect your reservation.
If you no longer require a reserved book, log into your library account and select the reservation you wish to cancel, and click on the cancel reservation button. Confirm the cancellation to finish. Please note you cannot cancel a reservation online if it is already awaiting collection. Please see a member of Library staff, and they will cancel your reservation.
