Therefore, you cannot place reserves through the Virtual Catalog interface yet. Minuteman Library Network will be opening up this capability shortly. When you make a request through the Virtual Catalog, you must designate a library pickup location. Whether a book can be sent to your home or office is really a local library policy and funding decision. Currently, it is pretty rare, but more and more libraries are looking at extending their customer service in this direction.
Many public also make special arrangements for homebound patrons.
Please contact your local library circulation department to find out its policy. Currently you cannot find magazine listings in the Virtual Catalog. Magazines are treated a little bit differently by online catalogs for a number of reasons. The type of record in the database is different. For instance, Time magazine comes out every week, so the library catalog record shows how many years of Time are being held by the library.
