Reservations
Hold requests (reservations) for books already on loan can be made via the Library Catalogue
The Library Catalogue allows you to reserve any 7 day loan or 3 week loan books and 1week loan DVD or Video that you find has already been borrowed. (You cannot reserve reference copies or books that you already have on loan yourself or 1 day loan DVDs/Videos.)
To place a hold request, you need to be signed in using your University username and password.
Now search for the book required and click on the 'locations' link to check that there are no copies left (if there are copies in, you cannot place a hold request). Click on 'Reserve' and then click on 'Go'.
You will be told if your reservation is successful or not. We will notify you when a copy is available (via University email/webmail) or check your account - while signed in, click on My Account and then Requests to view the status of your requests.
If you no longer need an item, please click on the request number and use the delete button or send an email to reservations-ml@solent.ac.uk .You can also click on the number to find out where you are in the queue for the book.
When a reserved item becomes available, you normally have seven days in which to collect it. Reserved items are located on shelves close to the Mountbatten Information Point. They can be self-collected using your campus card number and issued via self-service.
