If an item you wish to use is already on loan, you can place a hold on it and it will be recalled and set aside for you to collect.
Placing a request
- Search the library catalogue for the item you wish to request.
- Check there is not another copy in the library at your branch library.
- Click the
button at the top of the screen. - At the prompt, log into My Library Profile using your QUT account and password.
- In the Deliver to: box, select your desired pickup location from the drop down menu. Only External students can select the "External studentONLY, via Post" option.
- Mark the copy you wish to request.
- Then click the
button.
Please note: Caboolture Library items are available for Caboolture students and academic staff only, and cannot be requested by students from other campuses.
Collecting the item
You will be emailed when it is ready to collect. You can pick it up from the Course Reserve Collection area or the Library Help Desk at the branch library you nominated as the pick up address.
How long does it take?
Because the item has to be recalled and returned by the client who currently has it on loan, it could be up to 8 days before the item is ready to collect. You can check the progress of your hold request by logging into My Library Profile.
