What can I do if the book I want is checked out?

Answer

Steps to try:

  1. Check the due date in the catalog record. If it looks like it will be returned soon you may want to place a hold. (See this other FAQ on placing holds.)
  2. Check for more copies of the book in our catalog.
  3. If there are no extra copies, you may want to search MeLCat
  4. If you can't find the book in MeLCat, use Get InterLibrary Loan Items to request it. This may take a bit longer to arrive than ordering through MeLCat.
