You can request that an item be saved for you.

  • If the item is not on loan the item will be picked off the shelf for you the next time the request list is processed by staff.

You can request items
  • Via Library Search – you will need to log in, then when you view a book’s locations you will see an option to request the item. Complete the short form and click the request button
  • Asking a member of staff at the counter
