Suggest an Item for Purchase

If you are unable to find the item you are looking for in the local catalogue and you think it would be appropriate for the Library to purchase the item for the local collection, you can place a request to ask the Library to consider the item for purchase.

To suggest an item for purchase:

Open the Services menu in the Navigation panel and select Suggest a Purchase.

If you are not currently logged on you will be prompted to identify yourself for this transaction. Enter your borrower ID and PIN then select the OK button.

The request form will be displayed. Please enter as much information as you can about the item you require. You must enter the title of the item.

You will also need to enter a date after which the item is not required and the location from which you would like to pickup the item.

A confirmation page will be displayed. This will indicate if there are any charges associated with your request. It will also give you the option to return to your request form, to cancel the request or to continue with your request.

Select the Continue button to proceed with your request. Your request record will be displayed including the request number.

You will be advised by the Library when the item is ready to be picked up. You can also track the progress of your request or cancel your request by using the facilities in My Library.
