CSULA students, faculty and staff
can place holds on items checked out to other borrowers. If you
place a hold on an item that is checked out, the current borrower
will be notified to return the item promptly. When it is returned,
you will be notified through your campus e-mail address (NIS account).
While it is usually quicker and easier to place a hold online, you
can also request one in person at the Loan
Desk for books you cannot find in the stacks. After you receive
your e-mail notice, you can come to the Loan
Desk (1st floor, Library North) and pick up the item you requested.
Here’s how you place a hold on
an item:
Start with the Library Catalog
and look for the item(s) you want.
See if the item you want is checked out. Most items say "NOT
CHECKED OUT" in the Status column and you can locate these items
in the stacks. If it is checked out,
you will see a due date (e.g., DUE 08-14-04 ) in the Status column.
If you want to place a hold on an item that is checked out, click
on the
button located on the display. This will take you to a new page where
you can place a hold by entering your user information.
Enter the requested information and then click this button:
to complete the request process.
