- Use the Library’s online catalog search engine to locate the book or other library material you are looking for.
- Once you locate the item, scroll down the item listing until you see the “Place Hold” button, then click it.
- Enter your library number (starts with 408 on the bottom right of your MavCard) and select “Montrose Campus” as your Pick-up Location.
- When the item has been delivered to Montrose, you’ll receive a phone call or email notifying you it’s available for pick-up at the Branscome Center.
Students can also use CMU’s Prospector and Interlibrary Loan services to request books, articles, and more. For assistance using these services, please contact the library’s research help team.
