Search-Hold requests
A request to search for and/or put a hold on Library materials may be placed through the online catalog or at the Circulation Desk. After Circulation receives the item(s) a notification will be sent to you, and the located/recalled item(s) will be held for you for one week. Not all Library materials are subject to a hold. Holds on Teacher Curriculum Center (TCC) items must be requested in person at the TCC services desk (Room 26).
E-mail Notification
The Oviatt Library now notifies patrons via e-mail when items are overdue and when search-hold requests become available. These e-mails are sent only to the patron's official CSUN e-mail address; please be sure to activate your official CSUN e-mail address and check your e-mail so that you can receive these notices. You may address any questions about e-mail notices to the Circulation staff at (818) 677-2274.
