Library:Books/Finding Other Location Information

Some of the records you will find will be located in another library, in the ASRS, or are already checked out by another student. To locate these items, look at the right side of the record screen:

The right side Actions menu provides links to accessing books that are checked out, located in the ASRS, and on another campus.

Access a Checked Out Book (Hold/Recall)

If your book is already checked out, you can place a hold using the Request this item: Recall/ASRS link. A recall will allow you access to the book as soon as it is returned by the previous borrower. If there are several holds on the book, you will get access to the book in the order you placed your hold.

Access a Book from the ASRS

If your book is located in the ASRS, select the Request this item: Recall/ASRS link. You can pick up your material from the Circulation Desk on the second floor of the I. K. Barber Learning Centre usually within 10 minutes. For more information, go to the following page: Access the ASRS

Access a Book from Another Campus

If your book is on another campus, for example UBC-Okanagan, select the Order via Document Delivery link. You can pick up your material from the library you indicated in the form normally within 24 hours. For more information, go to the following page: Borrowing Between UBC Campuses.
