You can edit the items you have on hold at any time by logging into your account and clicking on the Holds tab. From here you can suspend, activate or cancel a hold. Click the checkbox for the item and choose an action from the drop-down menu.

It is important to us that we have relevant and useful resources for students and faculty in the library. We welcome your requests and suggestions for additions – books, eBooks, videos, magazines and journals - to the library collection. All requests must fall within our Collection Development Policy (PDF) and are subject to budgetary considerations. If we cannot find or afford something that you would like us to add, we will work with you to find a suitable substitution.

Before making a recommendation...

• Check the library catalogue to ensure that the item is not available in the collection
• Perform a search in the library databases to ensure that the article is not available in our electronic resources.
