Alma User Requests

Request Material for a User

When a patron finds a book or other material using InfoHawk+ and would like to borrow the item, the person can make a request by signing on to InfoHawk+.  The user can choose delivery to a campus library, office delivery, or home delivery. If a user does not know how to do this, walk them through the steps. 

You can also make the request in some cases if the user [insert circumstance here].

IMPORTANT!  If material is already on loan, do NOT request it!  Instead, refer the person to Interlibrary Loan or Uborrow (see Missing Items).

To request an item in Alma:

  • Use the search box to locate the item.
  • Select Request (at the right of the book record).
  • For Request Type choose Patron physical item request.
  • At Requester scan the ID card.
  • At Pickup At use the pull-down to select a campus library or Office Delivery.
  • Click Submit.

Although patrons can request most library materials, short-term loans—like reserve books—require check-out in person.
