Reserves
Items which instructors require for their courses are often placed on reserve to ensure equal access for all students. Items that have been placed on reserve may be requested at the Circulation Desk. The circulation time for each item varies according to instructor’s guidelines. Reserve items must be returned to the Circulation desk. A list of reserve items can be accessed by professor name or course number by clicking on “Course reserves” on the basic search screen of the Online catalog.
Holds
A hold is a request that you may place on any circulating item in Young Library that is not currently available on the shelf.
When an item is checked out by another patron, the status box on the online catalog result list will contain the item’s due date instead of the word “available”. Click on the “Request” button above the word “Location”. Insert the following information:
- Name/Username – Last name only with the first letter capitalized
- Barcode/password – “kc”+Student ID number
Be sure to place date needed information in the request. Click on “submit”.
Once the item you requested has been returned, you will be notified. The item will be held for a period of one week at the Circulation desk. If the item is not retrieved within that week, the hold will be canceled and the item will be returned to circulation.
