The person who has the book will be guaranteed to keep it for 14 days, and usually has 7 days to return it. You will be notified when it is returned and put on the hold shelf for you. For instructions see this help. If you encounter problems, you can give the call number and your 11-digit ID number to Circulation Staff. If the user is willing to wait until the current user has had the item for a full 28 day loan period, a HOLD can be placed on the item, and you will be notified when the item is returned.
Recalls take priority over holds.
If a patron places a recall after you have placed a hold, the person with the recall will get the item first. Both recall and hold items are available at the Circulation Desk for a 10 day period. After that they are re-shelved in the collection. Wendt Library has joined the UW-Madison General Library System in implementing a new uniform undergraduate loan policy. The policy is an attempt to provide a standard policy on this campus that will match that of other UW campus libraries and allow for universal borrowing between campuses.
