Holds can be placed on either title results or search results page. If the item is available, it will be pulled from the shelf and held for you. If all copies at your local library are checked out, you will be placed on a waiting list and you will be notified when items become available.

On title details page, you can select the Place Hold link in the upper right corner of the record to reserve the item. You will need your library account user name and password. You may choose to be notified by phone or email.

In the example below, the phone number in your account will automatically show up. Once you select the Enable phone notifications for this hold checkbox, you can supply a different phone number for this hold only. The notification method will be selected automatically if you have set it up in your account references. But you still have a chance to re-select on this screen. You may also suspend the hold temporarily by checking the Suspend box. Click the Help beside it for details.

You can view and cancel a hold at anytime. Before your hold is captured, which means an item has been held waiting for you to pick up, you can edit, suspend or activate it. You need log into your patron My Account to do it. From your account you can also set up a Cancel if not filled by date for your hold. Cancel if not filled by date means after this date, even though your hold has not been fulfilled you do not need the item anymore.

The record summary page offers a link to a shorter permalink that can be used for sharing the record with others. All URL parameters are stripped from the link with the exception of the locg and copy_depth parameters. Those parameters are maintained so that people can share a link that displays just the holdings from one library/system or displays holdings from all libraries with a specific library’s holdings floating to the top.

If configured by the library system administrator, you may send yourself the call number via SMS message by clicking on the Text link, which appears beside the call number.

See the Sending Copy Details via Text Message section of the documentation for more information on how to use this feature.

The record shows details such as the cover image, title, author, publication information, and an abstract or summary, if available.

Near the bottom of the record, the copy summary shows how many copies are at the library or libraries you have selected, and whether they are available or checked out. It also displays the Call Number and Shelving Location for locating the item on the shelves. You can click Shelf Browser to view items appearing near the current item on the library shelves. Often this is a good way to browse for similar items. You can select Table of Contents to see the book’s table of contents online (if available). You can select MARC Record to display the record in MARC format. You can also select Awards, Reviews, & Suggested Reads and Additional Content to see more details (if available).

When you are viewing a specific record, you can always go back to your title list by clicking the link Search Results on the top right or left bottom of the page.

You can start a new search at any time by entering new search terms in the search box at the top of the page, or by selecting the Another Search or Advanced Search links in the left-hand sidebar.
