Mansfield Student Handbook: Hold Shelf

Handbook for the student assistants of the Bromfield Library & Information Commons. Includes topics ranging from checking out a book to calling off sick.

Hold Shelf

Materials on our hold shelf are items that patrons have requested be held for them. Most often the materials have been sent from other OSU or OhioLINK libraries, but they can also be items from our collection.

These materials are filed alphabetically by the patron's last name

...and are held for two weeks (or 10 business days)

As with all check outs, the borrower must have a valid photo ID.

Short term holds:

Short term holds (held for 24 hours) can also be placed on this shelf. Short term holds may include reservations made for equipment, course reserve materials (like the TEAS test study manual), or materials a patron would like to come back for to pick up (because he or she did not have an ID). 

To place these items on the hold shelf, fill out the blue short term hold slip, and place the item on the shelf.
