How to reserve a book using the library catalogue
If you are searching the Library catalogue and find a title that you want to borrow a book but ALL
copies are out you can make a reservation for that title.
Make sure that all copies are out, i.e., there is a date in the status column rather than ‘available’
From the title record click on ‘Reserve this item’
Enter your student ID number and your PIN is the day and year of birth as a six digit number, e.g., 1st
April 1976 is 0176
Click ‘Login’
Click ‘Reserve’
You should get a ‘Request succeeded’ message
If you are using a public library catalogue PC then remember to click ‘Logout’
When another user returns the item you require you will receive email notification to collect the
book from the Library Desk.
Please note that you can only make a reservation when ALL copies of a title are out on loan
If you require any further assistance regarding reservations, please ask at the Library Desk or
telephone 01204 90903094.
