Can I place a request on a library item?
Some CCSF Library items may be requested, but not all.
Answer
Students registered in the current semester can place a request on many library items. Course reserves (such as textbooks) cannot be requested.
To place a request on a library item:
- Use OneSearch on the library website to search for the item
- If it is a Technology item, use our Borrowing Technology webpage
- Click on the title of your item in the OneSearch result list
- Click "Sign In" and use your RAM ID credentials to log in
- Click the "Request" button
- Note: Course reserves (aka textbooks) cannot be requested, therefore, no request button will appear. They are available on-site on a first come, first served basis.
- Select the location where you will pick up the item from the dropdown options and send the form.
- Check your CCSFmail account for updates on your request. There may be a delay in fulfilling your request, either due to staffing, or item availability.
- Library request progress can be monitored in your Library Account.
