Holds

Students, faculty, and staff can request items from any of the Maricopa County Community College District Libraries. These items can then be delivered (for free) to the Maricopa library of your choice. Here are instructions on placing holds on any book from the Maricopa Community College Library System.

Step One: Search for an Item

Begin with the One Search box located on the Library Home Page. Here, you can click the Find Books tab to limit to just book items. From there, you can select the Maricopa radio button option below to search the physical collections of all ten Maricopa Community College Libraries. After that, enter the topic or title you are looking to find in the search box. In this example, I am searching for the title "Reasons and Persons".

Step Two: Find and Select Your Book on the Results Page

On the following results page, navigate to your chosen book. Then, click the title of the book to reveal the details page for that item.

Step Three: Log into Your Account

Before placing an item on hold, you first must be logged into the system. You can do this on the details page of any item by clicking on the Sign In button. From there, select the Maricopa Students/Staff sign in option.

Step Four: Click Request

From here, simply click on the Request option indicated above.

Step Five: Select Your Pickup Library

From here, select the Maricopa Community College Library where you would like to pick up your title. You can select either Glendale campus option or even another Maricopa library option if you preferred.

Step Six: Click Send Request

Finally, simply click on the green Send Request button to have the library process your request. When the book arrives at your chosen library, you will get an email to your @maricopa account. Typically, hold requests from other libraries take about a week. If you have any questions, please reach out to our team.
