SHASTA COLLEGE LIBRARY
Requesting Library Materials be sent to Extended Ed Sites

To qualify for this service, you must be enrolled in an Extended Education or A.L.S. class.

Remember Library policy: 5 holds and 5 book checkout limit per library user.
No checkouts to persons who owe fines or have overdue materials.

To request an item:

Find the item in the Library Catalog.
Check the LOCATION listing for the item.
Materials with the location marked “STACKS, JUVENILE, PAPERBACKS, or OVERSIZE” may be requested for quick delivery to your class site.
You may not request materials with the location REFERENCE or most PCX's. (These materials always remain within the Library Building.)

When you need an item displaying a location of "CHECKED-OUT" use:
Placing a Hold for Checked-out Items
Expect a delay in receiving these items since they are not currently in the library.

Click the FULL DETAILS button to the left of the title so that a detailed description of the item appears. If there are many volumes or copies, make sure the one you want is highlighted. The system will then remember this item when you place the request.
Click on “I Need Material” from the gray bar near the top of the Catalog screen.
Click on “EXTENDED ED MATERIAL REQUEST” option. (Enter the appropriate information on the screen.)
Type your User ID (barcode number on the back of your library card) or Alt ID (your social security number without the spaces).
The system remembers the call number and item ID of the item you are requesting and places it in the appropriate field.
Click the “Send” button at lower left. The screen will display a message confirming that the request has been placed.

To check on the status of your hold in the Library Catalog:

Wait several hours to allow for library staff to search for the material in the library.
Select “My Account” from the blue buttons at the top or bottom of the screen.
Select “Review My Account.”
Type in your user ID (your barcode number) OR your Alt ID (your SS#).
Enter your PIN number. Click on “Display User Information.”
Click the “Requests/Library Messages” link.

Once the material you need has been found, a Library Message sent to you
(through the Review My Account option) will state that the material will be sent
to your Extended Education Site/Center secretary for you.

You may renew a book that has no “HOLD” placed as long as it is not overdue.
