Placing a Hold

A new feature of ScholarSearch is the ability to place  a hold on a physical book in our collection. 

When a book is available in the stacks,  you will see a "Place request" button above the call # and title 

 

Click on the Place Request Button. You will see this screen 

 

Submit the request and you will receive an email with 24 hours when the book is ready to be picked up 

If a book is already checked out, you will be placed in a hold queue for when the book  becomes available
