Place a request for library items you would like to have pulled and sent the pickup location you choose.

From the Library Homepage, go to Library Search.

Sign in

Click the link at the upper right corner of the screen and sign in using your network ID or your barcode and password.

Search

Once you have signed in, search for anything including books, journals, and other resources available from the OHSU Library.

Availability & Request Options

When you find the desired item in your search results, choose Availability & Request Options. If the item is available electronically, it will say Available Online

FOR BOOKS

Check Availability

After you select Availability & Request Options, check the item’s location and the number of available copies.

Items on reserve, items in the reference collection, and items located in the HCA (Historical Collections & Archives), cannot be requested or placed on hold. If there are no available copies of the item, you can still request it and your request will be added to the wait list. When the item is returned, you will be notified that it is available at your pickup location or sent . If you do not wish to be put on the wait list, you can also request the item through our Get It For Me service.

Request/Place a hold

Select Pickup location

Before you request the item, select a pickup location from the dropdown menu. You can choose to retrieve your hold from the service desk at the OHSU Library in the BICC or at the OHSU Learning Resource Center in the CLSB.
