Using the Library Catalog's Request Feature Use the Library Catalog’s Request feature to conveniently request books and audiovisuals that are only available from a Blinn College campus other than your own. The request button can also be used to place a "hold" on an item that is checked out, placing you in line to get the book after it is returned to the library. How do I use the request feature? 1. If the item you need is only available from another campus, or if all copies of the item are checked out, click on the “Request” button. The button is located at the top of the record for each book or audiovisual that the library owns. 2. Type in your Blinn ID number and select your home campus as the pickup location. 3. Click on the submit button. You will see an aknowledgement that your request was successfully submitted. When will I receive the item(s) I requested? Items requested before 12:00 noon for delivery to the Brenham and Bryan campuses will usually be available by 5pm that same day. Items requested after 12:00 noon will be available the following weekday by 5pm. Item delivery is available Monday through Friday only. Items requested for delivery to the Schulenburg Campus will be available within 24 to 48 hours.   You will be notified by email when your item has been received. You can also log in to the catalog and check the status of requests you have submitted. When the requested item is available at your campus, the status column will say "Available for Pick up."
