How can i reserve media already borrowed by another user?

If you need literature that has been checked out by another user, you can usually reserve it through the catalog.

• First, select the location where you would like to pick up the item.
• Search the catalog for the desired item.
• Click on the item. This will also give you an overview of potentially available duplicates..
• Click on “Status”; the item will be reserved after you enter your UB ID and your password.
• If more than one copy is available, you will receive the first available copy.
• If, after a year, you still have not received the desired medium, your reservation will be deleted automatically. If you do not want your reservation deleted, you can manually enter a different deletion date via the calendar.

Once you have reserved a medium, the current borrower will no longer be able to extend the lending period. Please note that the estimated return date is not final. The eventual availability of the medium depends on its timely return and other reservations.
You can view an overview of your currently reserved media online via your library account. Select “Check Reservations” to view the current status of your reserved books.

We will notify you via email or in writing when your reservation is ready to be picked up.
Please note that the email address used for email correspondence is, by default, your FAU student email address. If you would like to receive emails at a different address, please add it to your user data in the catalog.
