If an item you need is checked out, you need to place a Hold on it.
From the search results page, click Access options.
Then click Place a Hold. You will be taken to the UFV Library Classic Catalogue website.
You will need to enter your Student number and Library PIN. Select which campus you'd like to pick up at, and make sure to check off which volumes you need (if applicable) below the Submit/cancel buttons.
You do not have to select a Not Needed After date.
Click Submit.
A message will appear confirming that the hold is placed for you. Click on "OK" at the bottom of the message.
When your item is ready for pickup, we will hold it for 7 days at the library you requested.
You will receive an email through your MyUFV account indicating that your hold is available and it will also show as available in your library account.
The library cannot guarantee the return date of the item. We notify the current user that the item is on hold and the responsibility is with them to return the item. Fines are $2.00 a day for items on hold.
Please note:
- Holds for on-shelf items are processed 3 times per day.
- Patrons who personally retrieve items from the shelf for checkout will be given priority over patrons who have placed a hold online.
