Note: Holds should only be placed for items owned by your library. To check out items owned by other schools, follow the Inter-Library Loan (ILL) procedure. 

To place a hold on an item belonging to your library:

1. Open the [Holds Maintenance] group and click on the "Place Hold" wizard (gold lock with a hand).

2. Use the "Item Search and Display" helper (open book with a magnifying glass) and search for the item. Note: if the book was the last item searched it will appear as a button next to the Item ID field. (See image)

3. Verify that the item displayed is the item in question, and click on the barcode of the item in the "Call Number/Item" tab.

4. Enter the user ID in the appropriate box.

5. Verify that the "Pickup at" location is listed as your library and click the "Place Hold" button.

6. Click the "Place Hold" button at the bottom of the window.

Note:

• The hold level is TITLE by default, if any copy of this title at your school is returned, that copy will be held for the user.

• The range level is LIBRARY so only items from your library can be placed as a hold, do not change this selection.

• When an item is on hold the shelving location will show as "Holds." When the item is checked in it will route to "Holds."

• Holds expire after 90 days by default.
