You can review the requests you have made for materials, and suspend, reactivate, or cancel the requests. For each request, you can see the format and title of the item, the pick-up library you designated, and the status of the request. The following statuses are common listings:
• Active - Your request for the item is active and the pick-up library will receive the item when it is available.
• Inactive - A request for an item in the library system has an activation date in the future; for an interlibrary loan item, the library must review the request before it is sent.
• Pending - An item has been requested within the library system, and the request is active.
• Held - The item you requested has been located. The library notifies you when it is available for pick-up.
• Out - The item has been checked out. When you return the item, the request is deleted.
• Received - An interlibrary loan item is in the library and is set aside for you to check out. (After you check out an interlibrary loan item, the request is no longer displayed.)
• Not-Supplied - There are no items to fill a request that you placed in the library.
• Cancelled - The request has been cancelled.
• Sent - Used by libraries that offer Borrow by Mail. The requested item has been checked out and mailed to you.
Note:
The library may use different names for these statuses.
You may see a Hold Position column. The numbers in the Hold Position column indicate the status of your request compared to other patrons’ requests for the same item.
Note:
The library may have policies that override the hold position.
An item may occasionally be used to fill a different request even if
your request is the first in the hold request list for the item.
