Requesting Materials From Another CCRLS Library

You can request an item that is at one CCRLS library and have it delivered to another by using the "Request" feature in the catalog.

Click the "Request" link in the catalog for the item you want.

In a list of books or other materials, "Place Request" links are found to the left of each title.

On the screen that shows complete information for an item, a "Request" button is located at the top of the screen.

Fill in your personal information on the form that appears.

1. In the space marked "Barcode," type the number from your library card, e.g., 23610003622817. It is not necessary to type all 14 digits of the number, only the last eight. (For those using a college ID card as a library card, the number is on the bottom of the card underneath the barcode; it starts with "236.") The computer will mask the digits as you type to protect your privacy.
   
   
2. If you have already chosen a Personal Identification Number in the Millennium system, enter it in the space marked "Enter your PIN." If you have not yet chosen a PIN in Millennium, leave this space blank.

3. Click the "Submit" button.
   
   
4. If you left the PIN space blank, the computer will prompt you to type in a PIN of your choice, and to re-type it in confirmation. PINs may include alphabetic or numeric characters. Choose a combination that you can remember, because you can use this PIN to place future requests, renew books, or update your record. When you have typed the PIN twice, click the "Submit" button again.
   
   
5. If you have requested a title that needs to be a specific copy, such as a magazine, or a book with multiple volumes. the computer will let you choose which copy you want.
   
   
6. A message should appear saying "Your request for [title] was successful."

You can add an e-mail address to your record or change the method of notification by logging into your library account. If you click "New search," you will see a "My account" link on the right.
