How can I request items for pickup?
"Hold for me" is a service to retrieve and hold items for pickup from the UW Libraries and Law Library collections. Available items are pulled and ready for pickup within 2 days, and often within a matter of hours. Requesters receive an email notification when items are ready.
This service is available to all patrons with a UW Libraries or Law Library account. Please note that online and distance students should use Interlibrary Loan to have items retrieved and shipped to them.
To use Hold for Me, locate the item via QuickSearch. From there, sign into My Account and look for "Hold for Me" next to the REQUEST heading.
Select your Pickup Location and click SEND REQUEST.
To cancel a request, open the drop-down menu under your name, and select "My Requests." Find the item and click on "X Cancel."
Additional Information:
- Requests for items that are currently checked out will be filled when they become available.
- Some items are not requestable because they can only be used in-house or are first come, first serve (items in Special Collections, course reserves). An error message of "No items requestable, request denied" will appear for these items.
- While multiple items may be requested, the interface allows only one transaction at a time. For example, DVDs with multiple discs require the requestor to return to the title record to request the next disc in the set.
- Items not picked up within seven days are moved to the next patron in line or returned to the stacks
