Recall Requests

UWF faculty, students and staff are able to request that an item which is currently checked out be recalled and held for them. (Unless needed for course reserve, all users have exclusive rights to an item for 28 days. After those 28 days have passed, another UWF affiliate may request the item.)

You place a request for an item through the title's Holdings display in the Library Catalog:

In the example above, you will notice that Patience & Fortitude is checked out and due on January 5, 2005. If you wanted to request it, you would just click on the Request link to the left of the item information. (This utility requires that you sign-in with your Nautilus Card or Library Access Number if you have not already done so.) You will then be presented with the screen below:

Select the library where you'd like the material to be held for you. Use the second Period of Interest field to indicate the date by which you need the material. (Leave the first date as today's date.) Note that you would enter 20040920 to specify September 20, 2004. Then click the Go button.

You will be taken to the Full Record display for the item. A note at the top of the display will indicate that your request has been registered.

You can check the status of requests that you have already submitted by connecting to the Your Account screen and clicking on the Hold requests link.
