Place a Hold

How Do I Place a Hold?

You need to sign in to your account in order to renew books, place holds or check to see what items you have checked out. Use the hold service only when the book you want is checked out to another patron. Please do not place a book on hold if it is available in the library. If you would like to borrow a book not owned by the TC3 Library please go to our Interlibrary Loan page.

  • Access the TC3 Catalog
  • Click on Sign-in in the upper left of the screen.
  • Enter your 16-digit TC3 ID number as instructed. Initially, use the same 16-digit number as your verification. The Sign-in box should now read "User is Logged in."
  • Click on Your Account
  • Locate the title in the TC3 Library Catalog
  • Choose Click for Item Availability and select Request
  • You may change the "period of interest" field
  • Click on Send to place your hold request. When the item is returned by the current user, you will be notified to come and pick it up.
