Recalls || Searching Books || Holds || Request Item

All books are subject to recall.  It is rarely necessary to recall a book that has been checked out to another patron.  It is usually faster to request another copy of the book online through MOBIUS or Interlibrary Loan, though a book needed for Reserve Room use will be recalled immediately.  A book may be recalled from another borrower after it has been on loan for a minimum of ten days.  Recalled book due dates will automatically change to precede the original due date.  Except in rare circumstances, books on loan for 21-day periods are not recalled.  When a recall notice is received, the book is to be brought to Pius Circulation promptly.

Other MOBIUS libraries may recall their books at any time.
 

Copies with an "Available" status at Pius Library cannot be held. Only books with status "In Process", "At Bindery", "In Repair", "Date Due", or "On Hold" can be placed on hold.  The holds can be placed online by the requestor or at the Circulation Desk in person.

When requesting, the first available copy in the SLU or MOBIUS catalogs will be sent for the requestor. When the book is received at Pius Library, the requestor will be notified to pick up the book at the Circulation Desk.

A book on hold for another patron cannot be renewed.

If a book has more than one hold on it , the normal check-out period may be shortened to serve the greatest number of patrons.
