This process is simple:
1. Search the Library Catalogue.
2. Select the item you want. If it's held in the LRS, you will see 'Library Retrieval System' under Location.
3. Click 'Request from LRS'.
3a. If the LRS item says 'In-transit' it means that it is on its way to the LRS to be stored. Once it is available for request the blue 'Request from LRS' button will appear.
4. Fill in your details, and click Request. You will be notified when the item is ready for collection.
Picking up and returning LRS items:
After you have requested an item and it is ready to be collected, you will receive an SMS or email notification.
Items will be held for you for 7 days from this notification.
You may collect the item from the Open Reserve shelves on Level 2 of the Library. Items are sorted on the shelves alphabetically by your surname.
Return LRS items to the return chutes in the Library, Building 1 (Tower) Level 4, and Building 10.
