Request a Single Item

Any item within the library catalog can be requested whenever you see the Request (this) Item button displayed from either the record browse or full record display screens. If you are logged in, you will simply need to designate a pickup location and click Submit. The system will confirm your request has been successful and you can return to the record by selecting Regular Display or enter a new search by clicking on Start Over.

Requesting Multiple Items

To request multiple items, search the catalog and mark your items you wish to save using the "Mark" checkbox to the left of each title and click on Save Selected Items. You can also choose to mark all items displayed on the page by clicking on the Save All Items button. Any of these actions will cause two buttons to appear above: View My Cart and Empty My Cart.

Please note that the items within your CountyCat cart will be emptied as soon as you close your browser or after thirty minutes of inactivity.

• View My Cart. This button will allow you to view your marked records to either request them or choose a method to output them from the system (email, print or save).
• Empty My Cart. This button will clear your marked records. Marked records are only saved for the duration of your browser session.

The next step is to verify the titles you want to request. Click on View My Cart and then Multiple Requests to display these titles:

If you are logged in to your account all ready, you can select a pickup location and review your records. Select those you want by marking them with a checkbox and click on Request Selected. In addition you can choose all your records by clicking the Request All button.

The system will batch request your records one by one and let you know if the request is successful or not in the right hand column. If you have a problem with your holds or do not believe the process was successful, please contact your local library.
