How to Place Holds
Steps
- Go to the WorldCat Discovery search box on the Library home page.
- When an item is searched, and one or more of the available copies are checked out, a Place Hold button will be available under Access Options.
- Log in with your North-West University CAS credentials. If you have already logged in, you will not be asked again.
- Complete the Hold Request form.
- Select the pick-up location from the drop-down list.
- Indicate whether you need the item for specific dates.
What are Holds?
- A library hold is a reservation for a library item (like a book) that is currently checked out or unavailable, allowing you to be notified and pick it up when it becomes available. Placing a hold puts you on a waiting list for the item, and you'll be contacted when it's ready for you to pick up and check out.
