Circulation: Alma User Request
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 using their Hawk ID and password. The person can choose delivery to a campus library or office.
Library staff can also make the request using Alma.
IMPORTANT! If material is already on loan, do NOT request it! Instead, refer the person to Interlibrary Loan (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 may request most library materials, short-term loans—like reserve books—require in-person loan.
