Circulation
Missing Books
Is the book you need not on the shelf? The Circulation Department has three services to help you get it.
If the book is checked out and you need it in a hurry, let the Circulation Department know. We will RECALL it. When it is returned we will notify you and hold the item for you at the Circulation Desk for one week. Books are subject to recall two weeks after they are checked out. Any material to be placed on reserve for class assignments is subject to immediate recall.
If you need a book which is checked out, but are not in a hurry for it, ask the Circulation Department to put a HOLD on it. When the patron who has it returns it, we will notify you and hold the book for you at the desk for one week.
If the book is not on the shelf and not checked out, we will do a MISSING BOOK SEARCH. Just give us the author, title, and call number and we will look for it, notify you when it is found, and hold it at the desk for you for one week.
