How do I place a reservation on an item?

You can reserve a Library item when all copies are out on loan. Making a reservation means whoever has an item won't be able to renew it, and they will also be sent an automated email advising them to return it.

Making a Reservation

1. Firstly, enter the title into the UR Library Search box on the Library homepage and select 'Search'.

The Library Home Page. The tabbed search box is located to the top and centre of the page.

2. Next, you'll see a list of search results. You'll find further details of an item, including the reservation options by selecting a title.

UR Library Search - information about checked out items is located near the bottom of the item record.

3. To place a reservation, select the 'Reserve' button in the 'Access Options' box to the right of the item's details, and then 'Submit' on the following page.

The 'Hold button' is located below the 'availability' section on an item record

If you haven't logged into your Library account, you will need to sign in with your Roehampton username and password. 

When an item is ready, you will receive an email letting you know, and the item is placed for collection on the reservation shelf near our welcome desk. It will have a paper slip with your name on it and will be held for one week before being returned to the shelves. If you no longer need something you've reserved, you can also cancel the reservation.
