Read: Locate or Request Books

An item record shows where the item or book is located. For example, the record for "Bodies of tomorrow: technology, subjectivity, science fiction Links to an external site." shows Hatcher Graduate and Shapiro Undergraduate as locations where this book is held. As the image below shows, at the time of this course publication the copy of the book in the Hatcher Library is checked out but the copy in the Shapiro Library is available on the shelf.

 

Tip: Library books are grouped together within broad subjects or related disciplines. When you reach the area of the stacks for your specific call number, take a look at the books around that call number. You may find related titles that can help your research.

 

Use "Get This" To Request Item for Pick Up

If a book is currently checked out or located in a library you don’t usually visit, use the Get This link to request a book for pickup at your chosen library's circulation desk. If the book is available, library staff will get the book and hold it for you at your preferred library. If the book is checked out, your Get This request will put you next in line to check this item out.
