• Item must be checked out (Check Status: line)
• click on "Place Hold" in the menu bar below the page header
• You will be prompted to enter your barcode number from your Eagle Access Card and your last name
• Click "OK" with "Hold" highlighted as your type of request

The Catalog Request Hold form will appear you must:

• fill in your barcode number from the back of your Eagle Access Card at the appropriate place
• enter a phone number for contact purposes in the Comment area
• enter the number of days up to 30 until the item will no longer be needed
• press the submit request button

You will receive an acknowledgement that the process succeeded or failed.
