Q. How do I place a hold on a book I need?

To place a hold on a book or other physical item follow these instructions:

1. Find the UHWO OneSearch record of the item you need.

2. Click on "Sign in" under "How to get it" and sign in to your library account using your UH username and password.

3. Once you are signed in click on "Get this title". 

4. A request form with most fields already filled with the information about the item will be displayed. UHWO library will be selected by default as your preferred library to pick up the item but you can choose another pickup location if you want.

5. Click on "Send request"

Most requested items arrive at the specified pick up location in 4-7 business days. You will receive an automatically generated email notification when the book is available for pick up from the hold shelf in the library.
