Making a Request

You can request items that are not currently available. (For example, if A Tale of Two Cities is currently checked out, you can make a request for the book when it becomes available.)

To make a request

1 Choose a title from a titles list, Bibliographic Detail window, or a Copies window. (For instructions, see Doing a Basic Search.)
2 Choose Request, Make Request, or press F5.

Horizon displays a borrower Search window:

3 Choose a search option from the Indexes list.
4 Enter your identifying information in the Search for field. (For example, enter your last name or your barcode.)
5 Click OK or press ENTER.

Horizon displays the Hold Request window:

6 If available, do one of these options:
Mark This Copy Only to request this specific copy.
Unmark This Copy Only to request any copy.
7 If necessary, change the Pickup Location.

To do this, click Codes, then choose a location from the list.

8 Enter any necessary comments in the Comment field.
9 If available, choose a notification method.
10 Save the file.

Horizon closes the Hold Request window, then displays a message verifying that you have requested the title and that the library will be notified.
