You can now place holds on checked out books!

Posted on February 18, 2022

Since registered University of Pretoria students are now allowed back on campus, full Access and Lending services will be rendered again. Browsing between the shelves will be allowed and books can be issued.

If you are looking for a specific book that has been checked out by another user, the book can be placed on hold. The status of the book will read “checked out” on the online library catalogue. When the book is returned by the user, a system-generated email will be sent to your email address on the library system. The book can be collected at the library that was selected as "pickup location" when the hold was initially placed. Remember that only you (the person who placed the hold) may collect the book.
