Requesting a hold for an item that is currently checked out

1. In the InfoSearch Catalog find the record for the item you want.
2. If the Status reads "due xx/xx/xx," click on the "Request it " link in the record.



3. Enter your Pipeline username and password OR your name and the barcode number from your MTSU ID as it appears on the card. (The barcode number is 14-digits beginning with 23082). Click "Login." Please note that holds can only be requested by MTSU students, faculty, and staff.



4. On the next screen you will be asked if you have a deadline for the material. If so, check mark the box and enter your deadline. You will not be contacted if the book is returned after your deadline. If not, click Submit.


5. If your request was successful, a message will appear stating, "Your request for Book Title was successful. You will be able to pick up this material at Walker Library Circulation Desk when it is ready." The library will send you an e-mail notice when the book is available for pick-up. It will be held at the Circulation Desk for ten days.
