Placing Holds

Place a hold on a book or video

Holds can be placed on most books and videos in the collection. Exceptions include reference materials and course reserves.

When searching for books, check the availability under the 'Status' field, and the location of the book. 

To place a hold, click on 'Access options' and select 'View Catalouge Record'. 

 

You will be directed to NIC Library's Catalogue. 

Under 'Item Details' on the left hand side of the screen, select 'Place Hold'

The next screen will prompt you to enter your student number or community borrower ID, password, and your preferred campus pick-up location. Items being transferred from one campus to another can take a couple of days. You will receive an email notification when your item is ready to pick up.

Note: If you are a community borrower and do not know your PIN, you can obtain it from Library staff either in person or by telephone.
