Reserving a Book

In Primo Library Search find your title, for example:- Principles of anatomy & physiology. Check the locations tab for availability.

If the title you want is on loan you can place a request by clicking on Request and logging in using your username and password.

Select “any copy”

Select “City Campus” as your pickup location, or Sullivan Avenue if you are studying at that campus, or Off Campus only if you are a distance learner.

We recommend you do not change the “not needed after date.” By default, it is set to remain active for one month. After this time, your request will automatically be cancelled.
