Here's what you need to know to get started. Your computer connects with the library computer using a modem, a phone line and communications software. A reserve allows you to have an item that's checked out held for you when it's returned. The reserve system is a waiting list and doesn't guarantee the item will be available by a certain date. When it's your turn for the item, you receive a notice in the mail.
Reserves are for items that are checked out only.
A copy will only be held for you when it is returned after a check out. Type HR and press the Return key. Type H and press the Return key. This will ensure that you will get the first copy returned when it's your turn.
