Recalls

Recalls let you get an item someone else has on loan.

The current borrower has 14 days to return the item.
You will be notified by email or mail when the item is available to check out.
The item will be held for 10 days at the delivery point you requested.
You can check out the item for the normal loan period. (If more than one person recalls the item, each person will be able to borrow it for 2 weeks.)

Periodicals are not recalled as they only circulate for two days. Instead, place a Hold at a Circulation Desk.

Identify the book you want in the Library Catalog (Use Basic or Advanced Search).
Click "Recall item" next to the Owned/Checked out statement. This will display a list of volumes or copies in a new window.
Click the "Recall" link next to the copy or volume you want to recall.
Enter your ID Barcode Number (the 14-digit number on the reverse side of your Notre Dame ID card) and your Verification Number (initially MMDD of your birthday; e.g. 1225 for December 25)
From the Recall Request window,
- Select the library where you want to pick up the book.
- Optionally, set the "Not Needed After" date. (Do NOT set the date for less than 15 days. If the book is returned after this date, you will not be notified.)
- Click "Go."
When you are finished press the "Reset" button to logout. Failure to logout may allow others to view your personal information.

Or, go to a Circulation Desk and ask for the item be recalled.

The item is due on or before the new due date listed on the notice.
Materials recalled to be put on Reserve must be returned immediately.
If you don't return an item that has been recalled, or return it late:
- Fines for a recalled item that is not returned after 30 days start at $25 (non-refundable) and include the cost of replacing the book.
- Non-refundable fines accrue on overdue recalled items even if you are away from campus. We strongly recommend you return all library materials before leaving town.
