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."
