An email to your campus account will contain a brief explanation of why library staff cancelled your request. Reasons include:

  • Copyright. We cannot fulfill requests that violate copyright.
  • The item is too new. In most cases, if an item is new and popular, it will not be available to request.
  • The item is a textbook. Please contact the campus bookstore or order your textbooks online.
  • The item is non-circulating. Libraries may choose not to lend certain items, especially if they are rare.

Contact a librarian for help finding alternative resources.
