Using Recalls Responsibly

As Recalls inconvenience other users, follow these guidelines:

• Make sure a shelf copy is not still available Find and hold a book (Get it for me!)
• Recall only one checked-out copy of the book
• Choose the copy that has the soonest due date or least number of requests pending
• Only recall items you really need
• Do not use the recall process as a replacement for buying a textbook
