Holds pickup is the the library's service that allows University of Dallas faculty, students, and staff to place holds on physical materials from the collection and have them pulled for check out by the library staff.
Step 1: Browse the catalog and request the item(s) that you need for your research. Requests are filled Monday-Friday from 9:00am-4:00pm. Requests are available for pick up the same day.
Step 2: Our library staff will retrieve the item(s) you requested.
Step 3: You will be notified via email when your item(s) are ready for pick up.
Step 4: Once you are notified by email that your item(s) are available for pick up, you can visit the library. Your items will be ready to pick up from the holds shelf. You will need to check them out at the circulation desk. Then, you can leave the library with your items.
