You can request items that are currently checked out from your library or are from another Delaware library by placing a hold online yourself. You just need your 14 digit lib card # and PIN. Here are instructions:
- Login to the catalog with your 14 digit library card number (no spaces) and P.I.N. (If you do not know your P.I.N. see here).
- Once logged in, search for the item or items you wish to place holds.
- Place holds on these items by clicking on the "Place Hold" button in the list of items, or if you are looking at a particular item, click on the Place Hold link on the right side of the screen. You will be taken to the hold screen.
- You must select the library where you wish to pick up the item from the pull down list of member libraries.
- Click Place Hold to finish.
Generally, "placed" means that a hold is placed on the title but is unavailable; "being held" means that the hold is available and ready for pickup at the library location you chose to have it sent to.
