How to reserve a book?

You can only reserve a book that is currently out on loan to another user or the book you wish to borrow is not available on the shelf. You can reserve up to two books at any one time. The following steps will guide you to make a reservation:
Step 1- Log in to "My Library Account" to access the library catalog.

Step 2- Search and locate the book that you wish to reserve.

Step 3- Click on the "Place hold" button to reserve the book(s).

Step 4- Choose your "Pickup location" as APU Library to collect the book(s).

You may choose to set your own expiration date for the booking i.e a date you will no longer need the book by.

Step 5- You will be notified by an email (either automated email or by one of the librarians) that the book(s) are ready for collection. Collect the reserved book(s) within three working days from the date you have been notified. The details and status of your reservation are reflected in your library account.

Confirmed reservations expire after three days, and the book(s) will either be passed on to the following user in the queue or re-shelved in its original location.
