| If
the item you need from one of the Sweet Briar College Libraries is
checked out when you look for it, you may place a hold on the item.
By placing a hold, you will be automatically notified when the item
is returned to the Library. You may place holds only on items that
are owned by Sweet Briar College. You may not place holds on items
that are not owned by Sweet Briar. In addition, you may not
place holds on reference books, indexes, CDs, unbound magazines,
or reserves.
If you need
a Bound Periodical, or any other item that is stored in Wick, please
fill out the Wick
Item Request Form instead of placing a hold. The Library
staff will either make the copies you need, or bring the original
item to the front desk of Cochran Library, for your convenience.
You will be contacted by email or by telephone when your Wick request
items are ready for you to pick up.
Placing holds
in LION on SBC-owned items that are checked out is easy. Under the
Copy/Holding information on LION, to the far right
of Status - Checked Out you will see an option
to Place Hold. Click Place Hold
and the system will ask for your Social Security number. Type in
your number and click Login. On the following screen
you must click the Request button. If you
do not click the Request button, you have not placed your hold on
that item!
The last screen
tells how long your hold will remain in effect. You may choose between
two buttons to exit. One reads, Return to Searching.
The other says, Logout and Return. Both of these
buttons will take you to a new search screen. If you are not on
your personal computer, you should choose the button that reads,
Logout and Return. This will prevent anyone who
uses the computer after you from tampering with your account.
