Make an appointment/ request from the storage through the online catalog

Dear Readers!

From now on you have an opportunity not only make an appointment in the catalog but request books from the storage. These are work in the same way, the steps are same.

Step no. 1.: You need to search and check in the online catalog that documents are available in our library.

(It is worth checking and using the “Institution” option where you can choose our library, so among the results you only can find these documents which we have.)

Step no. 2.: Start to make an appointment/the request from the storage 

In both cases you need to click to the “Place a Hold” text at the end of the line with our copy’s data. (Like the arrow shows in the picture below.)

Importat: When you check the book please look after not only for its status - Circulating, in borrowing, not circulating - but for its collection. Because if you see “(TATK) Raktár'' this means the book in the storage you need request it, but if you see “(TATK) Olvasóterem” this means the book is in the reading room so you can just come  in and use it.

Step no. 3.: Log in to the online catalog with your library card or student card.

Step no. 4.: The form

After the login you will see the form for request or appointment depending on what you want. Here the modification is not necessary, you only need to click the “Submit Request” button. (This button has the same text in both cases.)

Step no. 5.: Check

After submitting the form you have several opportunities to check the success of the process. First of all the system sends you the notification (first arrow on the first picture) if you miss this you can check up on the status of the requested book and lastly you can visit the “Your account” menu in the right side under the headline, here you will find the “Holds and Recalls” submenu where you would find the book’s datas.

IMPORTANT:

- Requests from the storage are fulfilled from Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 16:30 except Friday when this time period is between 10:00 and 14:00. You can come for the books during that day until closing. Requests we received after this time period(s) will be fulfilled on the next working day.

- If the book that you made an appointment for comes back to the library we send an email about this and after the message you have three working days to pick them up.
