Primo Search Help

Place a Hold

To place a hold on an item that is already borrowed (displaying as on loan) , you will need to be signed in to Primo to see the options under the Get It section. 

What to do: 

  1. Click on the request button in the  Get It section of item record. 
  2. Fill out the small form that pops up (displayed below) 
  3. Make sure you have filled out the starred items 
  4. Click Send Request. 

 What happens next

When the item is returned, our system will: 

  1. Alert library staff that the book is on hold - library staff will keep it aside for you with your name on it at our enquiry desk hold shelf. 
  2. Send you an email that the item is ready for collection

 

Note: This feature does NOT work for items already available on the shelf - if an item displays as Available, you have to come in and get it; we will not put it aside for you. 

Request Item From Other Campus Library

Just like placing a hold, you will need to be signed in to Primo to use this feature.
