Reserving a Book

How to Place a Reserve on a Book on the SCHS Library Catalog

Do you ever see a book on the SCHS Library online catalog that you want to check out? Do you want to make sure no one checks it out first? Good news: you can!

Below are instructions on how to place a reserve on a book in the catalog online.

Instructions:

• 1. Start on the SCHS Library Catalog. You can find it HERE. (It is also linked in the sidebar.)

  2. If you have a book in mind, you can search for that specific book. You can find more tips on searching the library catalog HERE.

  3. Once you are on the library catalog record page for your chosen book, look to the middle of the page. You will see a picture of the cover of the book. Beneath this, there will be an orange “Request” button. Select this option.

  4. Log in with your student ID. If you log in with your student ID, you do not need to input a password!

  5. A Request menu will appear. You can input your email or phone number (if they are not already in the OPALS system). You do not need to fill out anything else other than your contact information.

  6. Select Submit Request and we will begin to process the reserve for you! You will be emailed when the book is ready and a call slip will be sent to your second period class.
