Here’s
how to place a hold on (reserve) an item using the
GeoWeb online Card Catalog:
- Click on the tab marked CARD CATALOG.
- When the CARD CATALOG screen displays, click
on LOGIN TO THE CARD CATALOG (about halfway
down
the page.)
- Enter your library card number with no
spaces and the first three letters of
your last name
in lower
case. Continue the login process until
you get to the DATABASE SELECTION page.
- Click on the collection you wish to search.
Remember, you cannot place a hold on
Orange County Library
System items.
- Perform your search
to find the item in which you are interested. When
you find an item, click on the blue Full Record
button. Then click on the blue button to the left
marked HOLD ITEM.
- A new window will open, headed HOLD
PATRON CHECK. Enter your library
barcode with
no spaces, and
the first three letters of your last
name in lower case. Then click VALIDATE
PATRON
PRIVILEGES.
- The next screen should display your
name and your home library agency
(where you
originally got your
card). If you wish to change your
pickup point
to another library, use the dropdown
menu to select the library and
then click COMMIT
HOLD.
- The last screen, HOLD RESPONSE,
will tell you whether your hold
has been
placed. Click RETURN
TO SEARCH
to close the window.
HOLD TIPS:
**If you have overdue items, or have a fine, you
will not be able to place a hold online.
**Holds may not be placed on reference books,
magazines or Stellar Sellers. You cannot reserve
Film Library videos online. If you wish to borrow
materials from the Film Library, submit your request
through your local reference librarian.
**If you would like a particular book or video
in a series, where all are listed on the same library
record, ask your reference librarian to place an
item hold for you.
**If the hold process does not work, call the
reference librarian at your local library for help.
