Instructions for Placing an Electronic Reservation

At all times AJHS and LBI material can be requested via the electronic reservation system.

If you have any questions about reserve policies for a partner organization, please contact the reference archivist/librarian of the partner organization.

1. Go to the CJH catalog (through patrons' computers or via http://catalog.cjh.org)
2. Click on "Your Library Card," log in or register
3. Find your item (book, archival material, microfiche) using the basic or advanced search.
4. Click on the item number to the left of the desired item on the "Search Results" page.
5. Click on the link representing the name of the partner (AJHS, LBI) next to "Go to Holdings" on the "Full View of Record" page.
6. Click on reserve on the "Locations and Copies" page
7. Insert dates as appropriate and add notes as needed on the "Hold Request" form.
   Insert the date in the format: YYYYMMDD
   For example: June 15, 2010 would be 20100615
   Click on Go
   Indicate the boxes, reels and volumes desired. Add additional notes as required.
8. Click on Go on the "Confirm item details" screen.
9. To check on your requests click on "Your Library Card."
   A hold should now be indicated in "Edit Loans and Requests."

If you are currently at CJH and would like to see these materials relatively soon, submit the request using today as the start and end date for the Reserve Period. Then proceed to the Reading Room and speak to the Reading Room Coordinator or Assistant.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask the librarian at the front desk for help.
