Request a title
Request a title from the library catalogue
You can request that a hold be placed on an item that is checked out, so you can borrow it once it has been returned.
How to place a hold
- Log in to your library account;
- Search for the item or items you want in the catalogue;
- From the Search Results page or the Title Details page, find the item you want to place on hold and choose Place Hold.
You will then see a message which tells you whether the item is on hold for you.
