How do I place a hold or request on a book?

Answer

Go to our homepage and search for the book you would like to request (choose "Books & Media") from the drop-down menu. Once you've found the book you'd like to request, log into your My Account using the login links on the page. You will not be able to request materials until you do this. Once you're logged in, click the "Request Hold" button. You will be prompted to choose from various pickup/delivery options, depending on your status (student, faculty, etc.). There are some print collections not available for request, so if you don't see the hold option for the book you've chosen, it's most likely not available for request. Here's a video that might help, as well:

You will receive an email from Circulation Services letting you know when you can pick it up. Please feel free to contact us at circservices@purdue.edu for more assistance.
