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.
