Recall an Item

DKU patrons can recall regular loan books that are on loan to another person. The loan length for the borrower will be shortened and the item will be held for you when it is returned.

Follow these steps to recall an item:

  • Find the title in the library catalog, then click “Get It“.     

 

  • Click “Sign in”.    

 

  • Click “Request“.     

 

  • Click “SEND REQUEST“.

 

  • When you see the message “Your request was successfully placed”, it means your request has been submitted successfully.   

 

Please note:

  • The borrower has 7 days to return the item.
  • You will receive an email notice when your recalled item is ready for pickup.
  • The recalled items will be held for 7 days; weekends or holidays will be postponed.
  • Please pay attention to the pickup location in the email. Do not forget to bring your DKU card when you come.
  • Recalled books cannot be returned on machines. Please return it to staff during the business hours.
