A patron can Request a book that they have found using InfoHawk+.  Staff then send the volume from the owning library to another campus one or to an office. 

IMPORTANT!  If the book is already checked-out to someone else, the requester should use Interlibrary Loan (see Missing Items).

The library keeps books for patrons in order by last name on the hold shelf.  An e-mail notifies the person.  The individual has one week to check out the material.  After that period, staff return the book to its home library.

When you scan in an item to go on hold:

• Alma indicates that you should place the item on the hold shelf.
• A hold slip prints.
• Fold the slip and place it in the book so that the borrower's name shows.
• Place the book on the hold shelf by last name.

Even if the book is for a friend or library staff, always place it on the hold shelf.

If the message "Office Delivery" appears during a return, give the book, along with the slip that has printed, to your supervisor.  The supervisor will send the material by campus mail to the requester.

A book that has been returned may need to go to another campus library.

When you scan in a book for transit:

• Alma indicates that the book should be sent to another library.
• A transit slip prints.
• Fold the slip and place it in the book so that the destination is visible.
• Place the book in the mail bin.
