If the item you want is checked out, you may be able to request that it be held for you when it's returned or, if you are a current W&M student, staff member, or faculty, that it be recalled from the patron who currently has it. W&M students, staff, and faculty also have the option of requesting the item be borrowed from another library through interlibrary loan. To conserve staff time, we request that you choose either a recall or an interlibrary loan.
At this time, circulating books may have holds and recalls placed by eligible patrons. Videos, including DVDs, VHS tapes, and laser discs, may have holds and recalls placed only by W&M faculty or individuals needing videos for class instruction.
If William and Mary faculty, staff, or students need an item that you have checked out, it may be recalled from you. The library reserves the right to recall any item in order to place the material on reserve for a class or to make it available to another W&M borrower. If an item you have checked out is recalled, we will notify you of the recalled item's new due date.
Please note: overdue recalled items accrue fines. Please see our Borrowing Privileges Charts for details.
For more information on holds and recalls, please ask at the Circulation Desk.
