In preparation for the renovation, library staff and a small portion of the collection was moved to the Center for Computing & Mathematics (CCM). Much of the library's circulating book collection is now housed in a nearby warehouse. If you need a book from the warehouse, you can place a hold on it, and library staff will retrieve it for you.
Placing a Hold
If you want to place a hold for an item that is on a list of results, click the Place a Hold link that appears under the item. If you have clicked on an individual item, the Place a Hold link is on the right hand side of the screen.
Log in with your LionLINK credentials.
To complete the process, click Confirm Hold.
