New and Improved(?)

Now when you use the "Request Item" feature in the 5-College Catalog you will see this...

Now students can either use their barcode on their ID or use their Net ID and Password.  To use their Net ID they just need to choose the Login via UMass-Amherst.  Either way they will still need to logoff!

Requesting Items...

from this Library or the other 5 College Libraries takes 2-3 business days. There are never deliveries on the weekends or on holidays. They will get an email notice when the item is ready for pick-up. To pick up items patrons go to the Circ/Reserves Desk in the LC.

Do you know whether students have the ability to lift a hold or request after actually requesting the item?

Yes they can! If they go to the Library home page they will see an option for "My Account" located on the left and they need to click it. On the next page they will see "My Account (Five College Libraries Borrowing)" they need to click on the "Login" next to that. From there they will be able to see their requests and will be able to cancel them from there.
