Holds can be placed on items in the catalog that are owned by Merrimack or any other NOBLE library.  

Some items, such as DVDs, newly acquired items, and reference items, cannot be placed on hold.  The system will indicate whether a hold was successfully placed on an item or not.

NOTE: If you are looking for an item not found in the catalog or an item that is blocked from being put on hold, the library may be able to obtain the item from a non-NOBLE library.  To submit a request, click here: http://libguides.merrimack.edu/ill

How do I get started?

Note: Placing a Hold on an item, not at McQuade, will initiate a request to with another NOBLE library to deliver the item to McQuade for you to check out.
