Copy Status

The copy status feature allows you to see copy availability, the estimated wait if no copies are currently available, and the order status of any future copies the library plans to include in the collection.

Items that are checked out, housed at the Annex, in-process and some on-order items will have a navigation button linking to a request form.

These requests -- recalls, rush requests, Annex requests, etc. -- are not automatic. When you submit a request form, an email message is sent to the appropriate library staff member, who then implements the request.
